Balanced job bound analysis of queueing networks

Applications of queueing network models to computer system performance prediction typically involve the computation of their equilibrium solution. When numerous alternative systems are to be examined and the numbers of devices and customers are large, ...

Balanced job bounds (BJB) is a technique for obtaining lower and upper bounds on the throughput of a separable closed queuing network. The conceptual simplicity and the low computational complexity of this technique make these bounds very attractive. ...

This paper presents an analysis of closed, balanced, fork-join queueing networks with exponential service time distributions. The fork-join queue is mapped onto two non-parallel networks, namely, a serial-join model and a state-dependent model. Using ...
