The Pantheon storage-system simulator
John Wilkes · 1996
This paper presents the facilities and design of the Pantheon storage system simulator. This simulator was originally intended to do performance modelling of parallel disk arrays. Over time it has been extended and generalized so that it now supports modelling of a wide range of I/O systems for both uniprocessors and parallel computers. The intent of this document is to provide an overview of the simulator, its architecture and its capabilities. The intended audience is potential users of the simulator and people who will be assessing its results. Copyright 1995 Hewlett-Packard Company. All rights reserved. 1
