File Description [top]

The Ei Compendex« database is the machine-readable version of the Engineering Index, which provides abstracted information from the world's significant engineering and technological literature. The Compendex database provides worldwide coverage of approximately 4,500 journals and selected government reports and books. Subjects covered include: civil, energy, environmental, geological, and biological engineering; electrical, electronics, and control engineering; chemical, mining, metals, and fuel engineering; mechanical, automotive, nuclear, and aerospace engineering; computers, robotics, and industrial robots. In addition to journal literature, over 480,000 records of significant published proceedings of engineering and technical conferences formerly indexed in Ei Engineering Meetings« are also included.

ONTAP« Ei Compendex« is available for ONline Training And Practice; it contains over 30,000 records from several months of 1986 from File 8.

      /AB     The  performance  of three types of interconnection schemes for 
         large  multimicrocomputer systems, namely, ring, binary cube, and 
         tree networks, is analyzed. These systems are modeled as networks 
         of   queues,   and   analytical  results  are  obtained  for  two 
         performance measures: mean queue length at any node and mean time 
         spent  in  system by a random message. The analytical results are 
         then  verified  through simulation. The results are useful in the 
         design  and  performance evaluation of multimicrocomputer systems 
         because   the  need  for  expensive  simulations  is  reduced  or 
         eliminated. 8 refs.
