This paper describes the application of formulae, derived from a queuing theory analysis of machine maintenance theory, to a multiprogramming computer system. Simple formulae are developed which can be used as a first approximation to optimise the size and speed of main core storage for a given job load. Some examples of the use of the formulae are given.

Received December 1973.
