Abstract

In this paper, we examine and characterize effects of communication interactions of paralleland sequential jobs on a nondedicated ATM network of workstations. We quantitativelymodel the interaction process and measure communication delays of parallel jobs caused by theinteraction. In addition, a scheme is proposed to distinguish and prioritize the two types ofcommunications messages to reduce the disturbance of sequential jobs" communications on thecommunication performance of...
