Abstract

Although there has been a substantial amount of work on analytical models of computer systems, there has been little experimental validation of the models. This paper investigates the accuracy of the models by comparing the results calculated using analytical models with measurements of an actual system. Models with and without overlapped seeks are compared. Also, we show how a model can be used to help interpret measurements of a real system.
