Computational Systems Performance

1st Exercise

(TODO)

2nd Exercise

Overview

In this exercise we simulated a system that consists of a CPU, a disk and a link that sends traffic to the internet. Using the JWAT tool we were able to draw the variable values that describe the system, such as the average service time of each station, the average time of visits per job to each station, the average arrival rate of jobs, as well as the percentage of jobs that arrived from each category (3 job categories in total). Finally, we calculated the arrival rate per job, the total response time of the system and the response time per job category, the utilization degree of each station, and finally the percentage of jobs that 'balked' from the system (more information about balking mechanism can be found in the exercise).

Step-by-step installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    After you clone the repository with git clone, go in the directory of the project (cd system-performance-ntua).

  2. Python Virtual Environment (optional):

    Creation:

    # Create Virtual environement
    python -m venv pe242-env

    Activation:

    # Windows
    pe242-env\Scripts\activate
    
    # macOS/Linux:
    source pe242-env/bin/activate

    Deactivation

    deactivate
  3. Install dependencies:

    Note: If you created a virtual environment, make sure you have activated it before installing the following dependencies.

    pip install numpy scipy matplotlib

Usage

To run the simulation, execute the following command in your terminal:

python3 pe242_code.py

Example

Below is an example of the simulation output.

Graph

The x-axis of the graph is the total number of jobs in the system and the y-axis is the number of events that happend while the system had a total of x jobs.

Histogram

Text output

A regenaration cycle is defined as the period between two events that the system was empty.
