The study of the queueing system presented in this note was
motivated by its possible application to a multiprogramming
computer system. The paper considers a closed network with two
service centres with feedback. The steady-state behaviour of the
passage time, the random times for a job to traverse a portion of
the network, is examined through simulation. The model can be
applied to a twin-processor multiprogramming computer system.
