Abstract or Table of Contents
Relative fitness is a new approach to modeling the performance of storage devices (e.g., disks and RAID arrays). In contrast to a conventional model, which predicts the performance of an application’s I/O on a given device, a relative fitness model predicts performance differences between devices. The result is significantly more accurate predictions.
