DSPNexpress

DSPNexpress is a software package for performance modelling of computer systems with deterministic and stochastic Petri nets (DSPNs).DSPNexpress has a user-friendly graphical interface for definition, , analysis and graphical animation of DSPNs. The package has been called DSPNexpress because it solves complex DSPNs with four orders of magnitude less CPU time than other packages previously introduc ed.

Hard- and software needed to run the program:

Computer type and processor: Sun Sparc
Graphic device: any
RAM: 16 MB
Harddisk space: 30 MB
Other harware needed:
Operating system and shell: SunOS 4.1.3, C shell
Other software needed: X11 realease 6, cc, LaTeX, picTeX, ghostview
Remarks: cc compoiler is needed for processing DSPN description files during runtime of a solution computation. LaTeX, picTeX, and ghostview are only used by 1 component: LaTeX is employed for generating and p printing textual descriptions of stochastic Petri nets. picTeX and ghostview are used for plotting and online viewing curves from the data genereated by a set of DSPN solution runs.
