Analytic Models of Time-Shared Computing Systems: New Results, Validations, and Uses

Abstract

The goals of the research discussed in the report are: To create new models of time-shared computer systems which include important features commonly found in real systems; to insure that the formulations of, and solutions to, these models are relatively simple so that they may be used by designers and computer center managers; to compare the behavior of these models with the behavior of more complex systems through simulation studies and empirical performance investigations of operational computers; and to indicate some of the ways these models may be used to aid in the design, evaluation, and control of time-shared computers.
