Linearizer: a heuristic algorithm for queueing network models of computing systems

Abstract

A new algorithm is presented for the approximate analysis of closed, product-form queueing networks with single-server and delay (infinite-server) queues. This algorithm has the accuracy, speed, small memory requirements, and simplicity necessary for inclusion in a general network analysis package. The algorithm allows networks with large numbers of queues, job classes, and populations to be analyzed interactively even on microcomputers with very limited memory.
