Regenerative Simulation of Response Times in Networks of Queues

A technique is presented for the estmaatton by simulation of response time characteristics of queuemg network models of multlprogrammed computer systems The techmque is based on the regenerative method for the simulation of stochastic systems and the idea of trackmg a marked job m the network Illustrative numencal results m part obtained from a simulation of a queuemg model of a database management system are reported. © 1978, ACM.
