Optimizing Random Retrievals from CLV Format Optical Disks

Summary: Models random-access costs on CLV optical disks, accounting for variable surface capacity, seek time, rotational latency, and access skew. Derives closed-form rules for placing frequently accessed data at cost-minimizing disk positions. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
