Abstract

This note presents a queueing model of a paged multiprogrammed computer system. The behavior of a process acquiring pages after admission into primary memory is explicitly taken into account. An approximate analysis of the model is carried out under exponential assumptions on service times. The numerical results obtained from the model are used to study optimal multiprogramming in a page-on-demand system.
