Processor utilization in multiprogramming systems via diffusion approximations
Abstract
This report describes an approximation for the central
processor (CPU) utilization in a multiprogramming computer
system. The approximation is based on use of the mathematical
theory of diffusion; its adequancy is checked numerically and
found to be good.

On the computation of optimal approximations in Sard corner spaces
Franke, Richard H. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1976); NPS-53Fe76121The subject of linear optimal approximation has received considerable attention in recent years [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. The subject of multivariate approximation for scattered data, including optimal approximations, is ... -
An approximation for computing reduction in bandwidth requirements using intelligent multiplexers
Henson, Lesley Jeanne Painchaud (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1993-03);This paper stochastically models a single-node telecommunications system both with and without the use of intelligent multiplexing. Intelligent multiplexers take advantage of the idle periods or silences that occur during ... -
Implementation of a high-speed numeric function generator on a COTS reconfigurable computer
Mack, Thomas J. (Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2007-03);Certain methods of realizing numeric functions, such as sin(x) or x , in hardware involve a Taylor Series expansion or the CORDIC algorithm. These methods, while precise, are iterative and slow and may take on the order ...
