Abstract Queueing network models have been used extensively to analyze performance of computer systems. However, queueing network models with product form solutions are not directly applicable to systems that process programs with internal concurrency/synchronization. An exact solution of such systems is often not feasible because of its large state space. Approximation techniques, based on queueing network theory, are presented which analyze the performance of closed systems with a specific scheme of concurrency/synchronization. The techniques are applicable to multitasking systems, distributed database systems, packet routing environments, and fork/join situations.
