Abstract
The authors propose a novel technique to study composite reliability and performance (performability) measures of hypercube systems using generalized stochastic Petri nets (GSPNs). This technique essentially consists of the following: (i) a GSPN reliability model; (ii) a GSPN performance model; and (iii) a way of combining the results from these two models. Models and performability results for an iPSC/2 hypercube system under the workload of concurrent matrix multiplication algorithm are presented
