Database of Validated Disk Parameters
for DiskSim v2.0
For each disk listed in the table, a set of files is provided in a gzip'd
tar file (using the common UNIX/linux utilities). By unpacking this
set in the subdirectory named "valid/" in the unpacked DiskSim release
tarball, one can simply run the script called diskname.runvalid
to exercise the downloaded disk characterization with the included validation
trace. The formats of the various files are the same as those included
with the DiskSim 2.0 release.
With the exception of the last five parameter sets provided below,
the disk parameters provided here were extracted automatically with
the DIXtrac disk characterization
tool.
