Tandem Models with Blocking in the Computer Subnetworks Performance Analysis

  • Conference paper
Biometrics, Computer Security Systems and Artificial Intelligence Applications

Abstract

A new algorithm for computing main measures of effectiveness in a special type of a tandem model with finite capacity of buffer is presented. In such a model, the finite capacity buffer is located between two multi-channel nodes, where tasks are processed. This type of model provides realistic and objective foundation for performance evaluation in the discrete flow systems such as information systems, computer networks, etc. For instant, in the tandem model with finite capacity of buffer, if the buffer is full, the blocking mechanisms restricts the arrival of any new processes and the newly generated tasks are blocked in an input node until the transmission process is resumed.
