Queueing theory models have been widely used in several industries, such as manufacturing, maintenance, computer systems, transportation, telecommunication, etc., in order to build high-performance systems that respond to customer’s demand in a reasonable time and cost-efficient manner. This research project addresses basic aspect of queueing analysis related to simple single-node systems, where customers arrive to a multi-server system according to a known distribution, wait in line, if needed, get served based on another well-determined distribution in a first-come, first-served manner, and then depart the system. Our proposed PAQS software aims to implement efficient and effective algorithms for simulating single node queues generally denoted as G-G-s. PAQS is sought to utilize state-of-art technique for generating the arrival and service time variates and determining the run length necessary for an accurate output. In particular, we improve the efficiency of the simulation via a fast sorting technique. Our simulation methodology is suitable for analyzing high-variability queues that have been recently observed on many internet servers. |
