Abstract

The announcement by IBM on June 30, 1970 of System/370 models 155 and 165 with buffer/core storage facilities revived an interest in storage hierarchy systems that was created initially by the System/360 models 85 and 195. However, the notion of a storage hierarchy is not new and has been used previously with regard to storage management by an operating system and for efficient use of mass storage devices. In fact, storage hierarchy, in one form or another, has been used in a variety of systems. The purpose of this paper is to survey the various storage hierarchy systems. As such, the paper presents a state-of-the-art analysis of this important area of computer science.
