In this paper we present DiffLQN, a tool for the analysis of networks using ordinary differential equations. It estimates average performance indices such as throughput, utilization, and response time of software and hardware devices. The complexity of computing the solution is independent of the concurrency levels in the model (i.e., thread multiplicities and processing units) and the estimates are theoretically guaranteed to be asymptotically correct for large enough concurrency levels. DiffLQN is designed having in mind compatibility with other tools that support state-of-the-art methods based on mean value analysis. date: 2016 date_type: published series: ICPE '16 Companion publisher: ACM place_of_pub: New York, NY, USA pagerange: 63-68 event_title: Companion Publication for ACM/SPEC on International Conference on Performance Engineering event_location: New York, USA event_dates: 2016 event_type: conference id_number: doi>10.1145/2859889.2859896 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4503-4147-9 book_title: ICPE '16 Companion Companion Publication for ACM/SPEC on International Conference on Performance Engineering official_url: http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2859889.2859896 citation: Waizmann, Tabea and Tribastone, Mirco DiffLQN: Differential Equation Analysis of Layered Queuing Networks.
