The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A simple cyclic-queue model of multiprogramming system with a fixed number of tasks is analysed in its steady state. Expressions for queue-size distribution, average rate of job-completions, average stay-in-the-system time are derived. A measure of system efficiency alternative to processor utilisation is suggested and optimal values for the degree of multiprogramming are given for various values of the parameters.
