Abstract

One approach to the evaluation of the performance of multiprogranmed computer systems includes the development of Monte Carlo simulations of transitions of programs within such systems, and their strengthening by control variable and concomitant variable methods. An application of such a combination of analytical, numerical, and Monte Carlo approaches to a model of system overhead in a paging machine is presented.
