[Disksim-users] More about the source code

[hust_mb]

Hi,
More I want to know is the source code.
There is disksim_cache.c, disksim_cachedev.c, disksim_cachemem.c, disksim_diskcache.c. What's the relationship between them.
For example the disksim_cachedev.c is used to cache a device with another device. But the others?

In the valid directory there is no disksim_cachemem setting example. Can you give me such a example?

As said in the reference manual the disk block cache is only used in the intelligent controller. But in the PhD thesis "System-oriented evaluation of I/O subsystem performance" included one sentence "The disk drive module includes a separate cache/buffer submodule because of the specialized nature of common on-board disk cache management policies."(at the bottom line of the page 105). Does that to say there is a separate on-board cache implemente in the source code? 

Thank you very much.
