HPL–SSP–2001–4: Simple table-based modeling of storage devices

Trace driven simulations are too slow for use in solvers. Analytic models require work from a person to understand the array enough to model it. Table based models offer the possibility of automatically measuring the performance of an array for use in a solver. We explain a simplistic way of generating the input points in the table. We then explore three different ways of performing the interpolation of nearby points from the points within the table, and comment on future directions the work could go.
