Abstract :
Two different approximate state models are presented for the performance analysis of a shared-memory multiprocessor system. The steady-state solutions for the state transition matrices were obtained by applying an iterative numerical technique. The numerical results illustrate that the state models produce less than 5% approximation error compared to simulation results. It has been observed that the coefficient of variation for the service time of the shared memory has little effect on the system performance.<>
