There are two servers. Hiba has just started service at server 1, while Daniella has just started service at server 2. Hiba’s service time at server 1 is exponentially distributed with mean 1/4 hour. Daniella’s service time at server 2 is exponentially distributed with mean 1/6 hour. Daniella’s service time and Hiba’s service time are independent.

(a) What is the probability that Hiba finishes service before Daniella?

(b) What is the expected time in minutes until the first person finishes?

Consider a two-server queue with Exponential arrival rate λ. Suppose servers 1 and 2 have exponential rates μ1 and μ2, with μ1 > μ2. If server 1 becomes idle, then the customer being served by server 2 switches to server 1. a) Identify a condition on λ,μ1,μ2 for this system to be stable, i.e., the queue does not grow indefinitely long. b) Under that condition, and the long-run proportion of time that server 2 is busy.

A server is a computer or device on a network that manages network resources. Servers are often dedicated, meaning that they perform no other tasks besides their server tasks. On multiprocessing operating systems however, a server may be one of several programs that are each managing specific requests for services from clients or a particular hardware or software resource, rather than the entire computer. For each of the server types below, provide a short description of the service each provides...

Consider three servers. An average of 12 customers per hour arrive from outside at server 1, an average of 36 customers per hour arrive from outside at server 2 and an average of 24 customers per hour arrive from outside at server 3. Interarrival times are exponential. Servers 1, 2 and 3 can serve at exponential rates of 100, 120 and 80 customers per hour respectively. After completing service at server 1, 25% of the customers leave the system and...

1.14. A service facility consists of two servers in series (tandem), each with its own FIFO queue (see Fig. 1.50). A customer completing service at server 1 proceeds to server 2, while a customer completing service at server 2 leaves the facility. Assume that the interarrival times of customers to server 1 are IID exponential random variables with mean 1 minute. Service times of customers at server 1 are IID exponential random variables with mean 0.7 minute, and at server...

1. A single-server queueing system has an average service time of 16 minutes per customer, which is exponentially distributed. The manager is thinking of converting to a system with a constant service time of 16 minutes. The arrival rate will remain the same. The effect will be to: increase the utilization factor. decrease the utilization factor. decrease the average time in the system. Increase the average time in the system. not have any effect since the service time is unchanged....
