[Disksim-users] Need up-to-state HDD diskspec

[李兆虎]

I have the same problem with you, such as for a large-capacity disk of 80G, dixtrac dose not work.

Hello, everyone

The diskspecs attached within Disksim4.0 seem to be out of date (very small capacity and only for SCSI disks).
Is there anyone who has up-to-date HDD diskspec model (*.diskspec, *.model and *.seek files)? For example, SATA disk with hundreds of GB capacity.
The dixtrac tool within DiskSim seems only work with SCSI and FC disks.

Thanks,

In general, Once Disksim is starting to handle the current request, it will prepare the next request in the trace. [see the getnextevent() function in disksim.c]

Therefore, you may try this way:

Assuming the fixed queue length is N, no matter what time the timestamps of the first N requests in the real trace are, you could change the timestamps of them with a very slight ascending order(e.g., 0.000001ms difference) in io_using_next_external_event(). In doing so, DiskSim will enqueue them into its IOdriver request queue and start to process them one by one. Once the threshold N is reached, the No. N+1 request must be given a very large timestamp (e.g., 1000000ms) to make sure this request won't be enqueued and scheduled by Disksim if any one of the last N requests is not done. When one request of the last N requests is completed, you can find the No.N+1 request [its event type is NULL_EVENT] and dequeue it from the intq queue, change its timestamp as simtime + 0.000001ms, and then enqueue it in the intq queue again. In doing so, the length of the request queue of yours is always N, and DiskSim will do the rest for you.

Just for your reference. Good Luck!

Hi,

Through the output file in the simulation, I found 'Overall I / O System Requests per second: 90.138218',
which is too small. How do I calculate the IOPS, throughput and average response time.And how do I define
read and write block size.

Thanks,
Zhaohu Li
