Dynamic Detection of Deterministic Disk Access Patterns - Peacock (2001) Self-citation (Flanagan) (Correct)
.... shown that deterministic disk access patterns occur on personal computers not only while accessing a single le sequentially (as in the case of loading a data le of some sort) but that determinism occurs across le boundaries and can involve many short accesses to di erent les as programs load [YIN98]. There are a number of strategies that can exploit deterministic disk access patterns for performance gains. We discuss these strategies as evidence that nding determinism in disk access patterns is a valid pursuit in itself, not because we will implement any or all of the following ....
....deterministic sequences in sequential order because several of those blocks may need to exist in more than one location. Thus, the problem of placement becomes more complex. Finding an optimal solution is often intractable, but algorithms for near optimal placement have been shown to be e ective [YIN98]. Disk bu er caches could also be modi ed to take advantage of determinism in access patterns. Turning the cache on or o based on the type of current access has been shown to improve throughput [MADH97] If deterministic blocks are rearranged as described above, for example, we may wish to ....
