Abstract

Scheduling disk requests with service guarantees hasto bring the demand to meet guarantees in line with theneed to optimize disk utilization. This paper presents thedesign, implementation and experimental evaluation of adisk-scheduling framework which optimizes the disk utilizationunder the constraints of both hard and statistical serviceguarantees. The framework is based on two principles:1) upon each scheduling decision, the calculation ofa subset of the outstanding disk requests such that all serviceguarantees can be enforced under worst-case assumptionsand 2) the scheduling of this subset based on the rotationalposition of requests in order to improve the diskutilization. Results are presented through an implementationof the scheduling framework in DROPS, the DresdenReal-Time Operating System.
