Description
1. Simulate an M/M/1 queue and plot the average number of customers N
in the system (versus the offered load ρ) from the simulation and compare
it with the analytical expression for N. You may consider a fixed average
service time 1
µ = 1 seconds in your simulation. You may plot the average
number of customers in the system N for the following values of the offered
load ρ = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.92, 0.94, 0.96, 0.98.
2. Simulate an M/D/1 queue and plot the average number of customers N
in the system (versus the offered load ρ) from the simulation and compare
it with the analytical expression for N. You may consider a fixed average
service time 1
µ = 1 seconds in your simulation. You may plot the average
number of customers in the system N for the following values of the offered
load ρ = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.92, 0.94, 0.96, 0.98.
Instructions:
1. Submit the assignment as a zip file.
2. Kindly submit the two plots in pdf format. Ensure that the plots have
clear xlabel, ylabel, title and legends.
3. Kindly submit the code (preferably in C or C++). You may submit a
single code for the two assignments. Kindly add comments in the code to
enable review.
4. Kindly identify how we can modify the load to validate the simulation. You
may add a README file to identify the files and for other instructions.
5. The deadline for the submission is 16 September 2017.
6. The assignment carries 3 marks.
