Simulating Inter-Process Communication with Extended Queuing Networks

摘要：

Extended Queuing Networks (EQN) are popular models for performance simulation of computer systems and communication networks.Beside the well known advantages of EQNs,inter-process communication is dif.cult to model.To enable functional simulation of complex hardware / software systems,we introduce two novel network elements: trigger nodes and delay nodes.The enhancement of EQNs,brought forward with this contribution,enables the simulation of non-concurrent tasks for the evaluation of non-functional system properties,like performance or power consumption.This work also provides implementation details and experimental results of a prototype simulator,capable to simulate Extended Queuing Networks,comprising the proposed enhancements.
