Abstract/Description

A comparative analysis of two methods of bus arbitration used by a multiprocessing system with a single main bus is performed. The major performance parameters are delay time and the average number of active processors, called processing power. The bus arbitration methods are described using state and timing diagrams. Multiprocessor systems using these methods of arbitration are then modeled using Markov chains to enable the formulation of processing power. From processing power other...
Show moreA comparative analysis of two methods of bus arbitration used by a multiprocessing system with a single main bus is performed. The major performance parameters are delay time and the average number of active processors, called processing power. The bus arbitration methods are described using state and timing diagrams. Multiprocessor systems using these methods of arbitration are then modeled using Markov chains to enable the formulation of processing power. From processing power other performance parameters can be derived. A comparison is then made among the two bus arbitration methods based on the analytical results where processors access the bus at an equal rate. Simulations of multiprocessor systems using either of the two arbitration methods were performed to validate the analytical models for equal bus request rates. Simulations are also performed of a system of processors using the main bus at unequal rates.
