Abstract

This paper reports on a simulation model for predicting software response time in symmetric distributed computing systems. This model extends previous work by considering a collection of similar processing elements connected together by some interconnection mechanism. The model also extends previous work by considering stimuli that require processing at multiple priority levels.The paper begins by describing the nature of the problem. In this section, the overall problem is decomposed so that attention may be focused on the software response, the topic of this report. Next a model is formulated. The coding of the model in GPSS/H is described. Finally, sample results are presented.
