โœฆ Synopsis


This paper presents the simulation of a class of MIMD systems using discrete-event simulation enhanced by graphics-oriented reporting. MIMD systems can be specified, modelled and simulated using the package and in turn provide estimates of certain performance indices. A multisewer queueing model is constructed to describe the flow of data and instructions through the various elements of the system. The model is composed of P processors sharing M memory modules through a user-defined interconnection network. Graphical outputs allow the user to view the state of every processorlmemory module over the simulation time with performance estimates such as the relative speedup, throughput, and utilization factor. Moreover, system performance graphs as a function of various system parameters are obtained to indicate the expected system behaviour for various loads and system configurations. The results section shows a case study of the influence of the memory modules' access time on the system performance. The purpose of the results is to aid in the analysis, understanding, design, and performance prediction of a class of MIMD systems in a user-friendly environment.
