Modelling of indexed sequential files: Monitoring disc transfers
Slough College of Higher Education, Wellington Street, Slough, UK
This paper describes monitoring experiments that were carried out to obtain a detailed understanding of a particular disc hardware/software system to enable a disc file simulation (DFS) model to be constructed and validated. The validated DFS model provides a means of testing the validity of estimation formulae for the performance evaluation of indexed sequential files.
