The architectural concept of a memory hierarchy has been immensely
successful, making possible today's spectacular pace of technology
evolution in both the volume of data and the speed of data access.
Its success is difficult to understand, however, when examined
within the traditional "memoryless" framework of performance
analysis. The memoryless' framework cannot properly reflect a
memory hierarchy's ability to take advantage of patterns of data
use that are transient. The Fractal Structure of Data Reference:
Applications to the Memory Hierarchy both introduces, and justifies
empirically, an alternative modeling framework in which arrivals
are driven by a statistically self-similar underlying process, and
are transient in nature. The substance of this book comes from the
ability of the model to impose a mathematically tractable structure
on important problems involving the operation and performance of a
memory hierarchy. It describes events as they play out at a wide
range of time scales, from the operation of file buffers and
storage control cache, to a statistical view of entire disk storage
applications. Striking insights are obtained about how memory
hierarchies work, and how to exploit them to best advantage. The
emphasis is on the practical application of such results. The
Fractal Structure of Data Reference: Applications to the Memory
Hierarchy will be of interest to professionals working in the area
of applied computer performance and capacity planning, particularly
those with a focus on disk storage. The book is also an excellent
reference for those interested in database and data structure
research.
