Abstract

This paper describes a FORTRAN simulation program written to carry out Dynamic File Management (DFM) strategies. The DFM model provides effective management of secondary storage while enhancing throughput time. The main problems we address are: how data is moved from level to level; the determination of criteria to justify file movement; and the implications of implementing the DFM techniques. It is demonstrated that DFM strategies are feasible and provide the manager with a viable mechanism with which to govern auxiliary storage.
