MAP 6264 Homework 4 (Finite-Source Input, BCC) 30 Points
Adapt the simulation program of Homework 1 (Blocked Customers Cleared) to account for finite-source
input. Consider the three cases:
1. Exponential think times (quasirandom input), exponential service times.
2. Exponential think times, constant service times.
3. Constant think times, exponential service times.
Assume that s = 10 servers; and, for each value of n (number of sources), calculate (offered load per
idle source) so that (intended offered load) is 9.6 erlangs. Run each simulation for as many arrivals
as necessary to attain statistical stability. When n = (in Case 1 and Case 2) use the simulation of
Homework 1. (Note that for every value of n, the theory values are the same for each case, because of
insensitivity of the equilibrium probabilities to the think times and the service times). Fill in the tables.
Attach code for simulation and theory; and explain all calculations.
