Abstract
In a 1967 publication, D. P. Gaver studied a probabilistic model of a multiprogramming computer system. His results have been utilized recently by a number of authors. However, we have observed that Gaver's results contain inconsistencies. These inconsistencies are discussed in detail and a correction suggested and verified through an independent derivation.

On Gaver's parallel system sustained by a cold standby unit and attended by two repairmen
We consider Gaver's parallel system sustained by a cold standby unit and attended by two identical repairmen. The system satisfies the usual conditions (i.i.d. random variables, perfect repair, instantaneous and perfect switch, queueing). Each operative ...
