....a number of stores, with both capacity and performance requirements, onto disk arrays is similar to the problem of multi dimensional bin packing. Since bin packing is an NP complete problem, exhaustive searches would take too long. Therefore our solver builds on the best fit approaches found in [15, 21, 23] to produce initial solutions, and adds backtracking to help the solver avoid local minima in the search space of possible designs. The solver algorithm has three phases: 1. Initial assignment. This phase attempts to find an initial, valid solution. It first randomizes the list of input stores, ....

....solver examines each store, and tags it with a RAID level based on the attributes of the store and associated streams. During the initial assignment phase, Ergastulum explores the array design search space by first randomizing the order of the stores, and then running a best fit search algorithm [10, 15, 16] that assigns one store at a time into a tentative array design. Given two possible assignments of a store onto different LUs, the solver uses an externally selected goal function to choose the best assignment. While searching for the best placement of a store, the solver will try to assign it ....

....and showed that most NP hard problems of interest do not have FPTAS s if P #= NP. Some preliminary work was also done on classifying problems according to approximability [14, 15, 16] The early 1980s saw further success in design of algorithms, including Fernandez de la Vega and Lueker s PTAS [53] and Karmarkar and Karp s FPTAS [84] for BIN PACKING 1 , PTAS s for some geometric packing and covering problems (see the chapter by Hochbaum in [75] for a survey) and for various problems on planar graphs [102, 22] Planar graphs are easier to treat because they have small separators. ....

....with approximation ratios close to O(log n) No inapproximability results are known for them. MAX SNP problems, such as MAX CUT or MAX 3 SAT, can be approximated to within some fixed constant factor but no better [PY91, ALM 92] Only a few problems, such as KNAPSACK [S75] and BIN PACKING [FL81] are known to have polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) A PTAS is an algorithm that, for every fixed # 0, achieves an approximation ratio of 1 # in time that is polynomial in the input size (but could grow very fast with 1 #, such as O(n 1 # ) A PTAS thus allows us to trade o# ....
