A Graph Model Representation of a Distributed Processor Computer System.

Abstract

Every computer system is designed to perform a certain function or set of functions. The most accurate way to evaluate a system's performance is to measure the system under its real workload (Ref 32:19). Very often, though, it is not feasible or practical to measure an existing system (Ref 5:12). When the system to be analyzed is not available for direct analysis, a model of the system can serve as the subject of analysis. This investigation focuses on the use of a particular class of graph models, known as Evaluation-Nets, to model a distributed procesor computer system in support of a performance analysis effort.
