Abstract

The development of elaborate supervisory systems for the modern day computer has dictated a need for a means of evaluating the efficiency of the computing system under normal operating conditions. This paper defines a set of synthetic job streams which can be used to evaluate the performance of virtual memory computing systems under batch program conditions. An illustration of the use of these synthetic streams is presented in an empirical search for the optimum batch limit of a specific example of a virtual memory computer system. Limited tests are also presented to support the results of this study.
