Comments on models of multi-processor multi-memory bank computer systems
William R. Franta, Philip A. Houle · 1974
This paper is concerned with processor degradation produced by access conflicts in multi-processor, multi-memory bank computer systems. Hardware and software parameters which influence performance are outlined and discussed. The incorporation of these parameters in analytic and simulation models is discussed with a view to the predictive merit of the model. Finally a general simulation model of a multi-processor is presented, and results based on its use are analyzed and compared with those of other models.
