The vast number of design options in replicated databases requires efficient analytical performance evaluations so that the considerable overhead of simulations or measurements can...
Performance models for Network-on-Chip (NoC) are essential for design, optimization and Quality of Service (QoS) assurance. Classical queueing theory has been often used to provid...
Using off-the-shelf commodity workstations to build a cluster for parallel computing has become a common practice. In studying or designing a cluster of workstations one should ha...
It is known that the resources that limit the overall performance of the system are the congested ones, referred to as bottlenecks. From the knowledge of the bottleneck stations w...
In most network models for quality of service support, the communication links interconnecting the switches and gateways are assumed to have fixed bandwidth and zero error rate. T...
