“…Extensive simulation experiments have been conducted to study the effect of all request shapes approach on the performance of the BL allocation strategy. As in previous research (Yoo & Das, 2002;Chang & Mohapatra, 1998;Chiu & Chen, 1999;Ababneh, 2006;Ababneh, 2008;Ababneh, 2001;Ababneh, 2009;Ababneh et al, 2015;Ababneh et al, 2010;Bani-Mohammad & Ababneh, 2013;Bani-Mohammad et al, 2010;Bani-Mohammad et al, 2011;Bani-Mohammad et al, 2015;Bani-Mohammad et al, 2007a;Bani-Mohammad et al, 2006;Bani-Mohammad et al, 2007b;Bani-Mohammad et al, 2009;Lo et al, 1997;Zhu, 1992), the main system performance parameters used are the average turnaround time of jobs and mean system utilization, where the turnaround time of a job is the time that the job spends in the mesh system from arrival to departure, while the system utilization is the percentage of processors that are utilized over time. The important independent variable in the simulation is the system load.…”
