Abstract
A queueing model for performance evaluation of cluster-based multiproc essors is proposed in this correspondence. Most system components are modeled as M/D/1/L queues to capture deterministic service time and fi nite buffer behavior. Various subsystems are analyzed independently an d then integrated for the system level analysis. Average delay, throug hput, and processor utilization are the performance parameters studied in this analysis. The analytical results are first validated via simu lation. Next, several design alternatives are discussed using the mode l. These include the effect of buffer length and identification or bot tleneck centers for various design configurations.
