Performance evaluation of a commercial cache-coherent shared memory multiprocessor
Rajeev Jōg, Philip L. Vitale, James R. Callister · 1990
This paper describes an approximate Mean Value Analysis (MVA) model developed to project the performance of a small-scale shared-memory commercial symmetric multiprocessor system. The system, based on Hewlett Packard Precision Architecture processors, supports multiple active user processes and multiple execution threads within the operating system.
