Abstract

In recent years, several disk scheduling techniques have been suggested. It seems clear that the choice of n algorithm can make a significant difference in computer system performance, but which is best is still an open question. Therefore, the main contribution of this paper is the detailed computational experience of three well known scheduers, to evaluate their performances. The aim of this evaluation is to help those responsible for system operations in assessing the possibilities for improving disk performance. Finally, it is to help us to choose the best scheduler suitable for our MVAX system with its load conditions.
