Abstract :
The performance of the IMPS multiprocessor computer system is investigated. An analytic queuing model is derived for one cluster of the architecture, under some reasonable assumptions. These results are validated by developing a discrete-event simulation model which uses real values for its input parameters, collected using one processor module and a logic analyzer. The analytical performance results closely match the simulation-model performance results. The primary performance index used in the modeling is the speedup. Other performance measures can easily be derived from the speedup
