Abstract

The design of the storage component is essential to the achieving of a good overall cost-performance balance in a computing system. A method is presented for quickly assessing many of the technological and structural possibilities that exist today for designing storage hierarchies. The evaluation is based on a cycling queuing model of the computer system and its programming environment, which are taken into account by miss ratio curves.
