Solution to 1st given problem

Given: 100 IOPS

Service time (RS): 8ms

Arrival time (Ra)=1/IOPS=1/100=0.01

1) Utilization (u)=RS/RA=8/0.01=0.8 or 80%

2) Total response time(R)= Rs/(1-U)= 8/(1-80)=0.10 ms

3) Average queue time=U*2/(1-U)=80/79=2.02 ms

4) Total time spent by a request in the queue= UR=0.80.10=0.08 ms

Solution to 2nd given problem

Service time (RS) =4ms

Arrival time (Ra) =1/100=0.01

1) Utilization (u) =RS/RA = 4/0.01=40%

2) Total Response time(R) = Rs/(1-U)=4/(39)=0.10 ms

3) Average Queue time = U*2/(1-U)=80/39=2.05ms

4) Total time spent by a request in the queue=UR=0.40.10=0.04 ms
