Representation and Modeling of Distributed Computer Systems
Armen Gabrielian · NCSU Libraries Repository (North Carolina State University Libraries) · 1983
The general problem of the representation and performance-oriented modeling of the behavior of distributed computer systems is discussed. A description of an integrated System Design/Static and Dynamic Modeling (SD/SDM) tool set is presented. In SD/SDM, a data base organization is used for the representation of the architecture, load, application software and the operating system of a distributed system. Modeling is performed statically or dynamically through a generic simulation model that does not require recompilation. Applications of SD/SDM in actual projects are discussed briefly.
