Analytic Performance Models of Robotic Storage Libraries: Status Update
Theodore J. Johnson · 1997
Large tertiary storage systems tend to be expensive, so performance models are needed for sizing and for performance optimization. Several researchers (including ourselves) have attempted to supply these models in recent years. In this paper we report on our progress in the development of a previously published model. The improvements we have made include a more accurate model of the robot arm, experimental validation of the model, and the integration of the model into PC analysis tools through a Perl interface.
