- Abstract:
-
Performance Evaluation Process Algebra (PEPA) is a formal language for performance modelling based on process algebra. It has previously been shown that using the process algebra apparatus compact performance models can be derived which retain the essential behavioural characteristics of the modelled system. However no efficient algorithm for this derivation was given. In this paper we present an efficient algorithm which recognises and takes advantage of symmetries within the model and avoids unnecessary computation. The algorithm is illustrated by a multiprocessor example.
