Abstract
We implemented a detailed model of the HP 97560 disk drive, to replicate a model devised by Ruemmler and Wilkes (both of Hewlett-Packard, HP). Our model simulates one or more disk drives attached to one or more SCSI buses. The design is broken into three components: a test driver, the disk model itself, and the discrete-event simulation support. Thus, the disk model can be easily extracted and used in other simulation environments. We validated our model using traces obtained from HP, using the same "demerit" measure as Ruemmler and Wilkes. We obtained a demerit percentage of 3.9%, indicating that our model was extremely accurate. This paper describes our implementation, and is meant for those wishing to use our model, see our validation, or understand our code.

DCD—disk caching disk: a new approach for boosting I/O performance
ISCA '96: Proceedings of the 23rd annual international symposium on Computer architectureThis paper presents a novel disk storage architecture called DCD, Disk Caching Disk, for the purpose of optimizing I/O performance. The main idea of the DCD is to use a small log disk, referred to as cache-disk, as a secondary disk cache to optimize ...
Performance of Two-Disk Failure-Tolerant Disk Arrays
RAID5 disk arrays use the rebuild process to reconstruct the contents of a failed disk on a spare disk, but this process is unsuccessful if latent sector failures are encountered or a second disk failure occurs. The high cost of data loss has led to two-...
