The term “fast wide SCSI-II” denotes a SCSI busthatoperates atadata
rate of 20 megabytes per second when it moves a packet of bytes between the host and a device. Suppose that a fast wide SCSI-II disk drive
spins at 7200 RPM, has a sector size of 512 bytes, and holds 160 sectors
per track.
a. Estimate the sustained transfer rate of this drive in megabytes
per second.
b. Suppose that the drive has 7000 cylinders, 20 tracks per cylinder,
a head switch time (from one platter to another) of 0.5 millisecond, and an adjacent cylinder seek time of 2 milliseconds. Use
this additional information to give an accurate estimate of the
sustained transfer rate for a huge transfer.
c. Suppose that the average seek time for the drive is 8 milliseconds.
Estimate the I/Os per second and the effective transfer rate for
a random-access workload that reads individual sectors that are
scattered across the disk.
d. Calculate the random-access I/Os per second and transfer rate
for I/O sizes of 4 kilobytes, 8 kilobytes, and 64 kilobytes.
e. If multiple requests are in the queue, a scheduling algorithm such
as SCAN should be able to reduce the average seek distance. Suppose that a random-access workload is reading 8-kilobyte pages,
the average queue length is 10, and the scheduling algorithm
reduces the average seek time to 3 milliseconds. Now calculate
the I/Os per second and the effective transfer rate of the drive.
