Abstract :
In this paper, we examine and characterize effects of communication interactions of parallel and sequential jobs on a nondedicated network of workstations. We quantitatively model the interaction process and measure communication delays of parallel jobs caused by the interaction. Measurement results on an ATM network of workstations support our analytical models
