Satyanarayanan", Title = "A Study of File Sizes and Lifetimes", Institution = "Carnegie-Mellon University", Year = "1981", Number = "CMU-CS-81-114", Note = "Study done on TOPS-10 system. CMU10A?", Abstract= " An investigation of the size and lifetime properties of files on the primary computing facility in the CSD at CMU is presented in this paper. Three key issues are exaimed: the effect on migration on file characteristics, the effect of file type on file characteristics, and the correlation between file sizes and lifetimes. Analytical models that fit observed data are derived using two alternative techniques." } -- Mark Verber System Programmer, Physics Department, Ohio State University verber@mps.ohio-state.edu, verber@solutions.com, verber@ohstpy.bitnet (614) 292-8002
