Plan

Motivation System considered Simple recurrent analysis Alternative method Classes on several priority levels Conclusions

Motivation

Priority service computer application

Finite number of request sources Multiple servers Arbitrary number of classes

System considered

Assumptions

M servers c classes exponentially

distributed idle times service demands

1 class / priority level

Assumptions

Class i, i = 1,…c

Ni sources

1/i mean idle time

1/i mean service demand

Class 1 highest priority

Simple recurrent analysis

Simple recurrent analysis

One class at a time state description (ni,li)

ni users of class i

li servers unavailable

Simple recurrent analysis

Generally within confidence intervals occasionally more significant errors

more likely with longer service at higher priority

not systematic growth with ratio of service times

– peak and vanish
