Queueing Network Model for Performance Evaluation of the DECsystem-10.

Abstract

A closed queueing network model of the DECsystem-10 at the Air Force Avionics Laboratory (AFAL), Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio was developed. This model was developed to provide personnel at the Avionics Laboratory with a computer performance evaluation (CPE) tool which they could use to improve the performance of their DECsystem-10. The hardware configuration and operating system features of the DECsystem-10 are discussed in this report. Features which affect performance are emphasized. Validation experiments indicated that the closed queueing network model described in this report is a viable CPE tool for the DECsystem-10. A possible improvement to the model would be the inclusion of the effect that swapping has on performance measures in time-sharing computer systems.
