The Queue

Queue, queue, queue for care.

The cyclic queue and the tandem queue

We consider a closed queueing network, consisting of two FCFS single server queues in series: a queue with general service times and a queue with exponential service times. A fixed number N of customers cycles through this network. We determine the joint sojourn time distribution of a tagged customer in, first, the general queue and, then, the exponential queue. Subsequently, we indicate how th...

The Queue - Read Queue - WriteAsynchronous PRAM

This paper presents results for the queue-read, queue-write asynchronous parallel random access machine (qrqw asynchronous pram) model, which is the asynchronous variant of the qrqw pram model. The qrqw pram family of models, which was introduced earlier by the authors, permit concurrent reading and writing to shared memory locations, but each memory location is viewed as having a queue which c...
