Finite capacity multi-server queue with exponential arrivals and general distributed service (M/G/c/N)
To conduct the experiment, follow these detailed steps sequentially:
Simulation Setup:
- Begin by setting the parameters for the simulation:
- Determine the mean arrival rate of customers.
- Select the distribution for service times.
- Specify the mean service rate.
- Choose the number of servers for the M/G/c/N model.
- Begin by setting the parameters for the simulation:
Stability Check:
- Ensure that the mean arrival rate is less than the product of the mean service rate and the number of servers. This condition is crucial for the existence of a steady-state solution in the system.
System Configuration:
- Define the maximum number of customers that the system can accommodate.
Initiating the Experiment:
- Click on the 'Start' button to commence the experiment. This action triggers the simulation process with the defined parameters.
Monitoring and Analysis:
- As the experiment runs, monitor the system dynamics and performance metrics.
- If desired, intervene by clicking the 'Stop' button to halt the experiment.
Result Analysis:
- After stopping the experiment, examine the steady-state results both numerically and graphically.
- Compare the theoretical predictions with the experimental outcomes to assess the accuracy and validity of the model.
