Analysis of Disk Arm Movement for Large Sequential Reads (Extended Abstract)
Summary: Shows the uniform [0,1] disk-arm model fails for large uninterrupted reads because object-size distributions and scheduling constrain arm motion. Presents a refined analytic model with closed-form expected-seek formulas for bidirectional reads and repositioning, yielding realistic I/O cost estimates for optimizers.
