This book was released on 1979 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Navy lacks the proper and efficient tools to evaluate/predict the performance of computer systems during the early design phases of system development. This thesis applies state of the art techniques to provide a methodology that can assist in the evaluation/prediction process for Naval fire control systems. The computer system evaluated is a part of the modular addition to existing shipboard gun fire control systems. A contract for the Engineering Development (ED) phase of the program has recently been awarded to industry. The computer system architecture is evaluated utilizing a Petri-Net simulation which is best suited to the purpose of concurrent computer system performance prediction. The prediction model, described herein, accomplished the evaluation with the results being utilized to recommend possible performance improvements in the hardware and software to the U.S. Navy Program Office.
