Open Access padlockePrints

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 stochastic model of a priority multiprogramming computing system is analysed in the steady state. A version of the model in which preemption of input/output operations is allowed and one in which it is not allowed and considered. Expressions for the central processor utilisation factor and for the average residence-in-the-system times are obtained. The relative merits of the two types of systems and the problem of efficient allocation of priorities to jons with different CPU and I/O requirements are discussed, using the results for some special cases as illustration.
