Title
Fast parallel solution of fixed point equations for the performance evaluation of circuit-switched networks
Abstract
Massively parallel algorithms are presented for solving systems of fixed point equations, modeling state-dependent routing in large asymmetric circuit-switched networks. Our focus is on the Aggregated Least Busy Alternative (ALBA) routing policy of Mitra, Gibbens and Huang. On a 16384 processor MasPar parallel computer, about a minute is required to compute estimates of the call blocking probabilities for every node-pair, for realistic networks of over 100 nodes. A few hours are required on a high speed workstation.
