Abstract	The conventional hold model was first analyzed in detail by Vaucher (1977). Several problems have been encountered in applying this model to evaluate the performance of certain pending-event set implementations. For example, the conventional hold model is incapable of taking into account those performance degradation factors that are caused by changes in the size of the event set. Another problem occurs because of the fixed pattern of hold operations performed the hold model. Finally, the conventional hold model is not suitable for evaluating the performance of concurrent (or parallel) pending event set implementations. To solve these problems, we describe an extension to the conventional hold model that we call the generalized hold model. Our generalization possesses several interesting mathematical properties that make it useful in studying the behavior of implementations of the event set used in traditional sequential simulators. In addition, we also describe a generalized concurrent hold model that permits us to study the behavior of concurrent pending event set implementations. The empirical measurements made with our generalized hold model have borne out the hypotheses concerning the inaccuracies of the conventional hold model as applied to the binomial queue and calendar queue data structures.
