Abstract:
Careful simulation-based evaluation plays an important role in the design of file and disk systems. We describe here a particular approach to such evaluations that combines techniques in workload synthesis, file system modeling, and detailed disk behavior modeling. Together, these make feasible the detailed simulation of I/O hardware and file system software. In particular, using the techniques described here is likely to make comparative file system studies more accurate. In addition to these specific contributions, the paper makes two broader points. First, it argues that detailed models are appropriate and necessary in many cases. Second, it demonstrates that detailed models need not be difficult or time consuming to construct or execute.
