Message-ID: <1990Aug9.003829.9294@uncecs.edu> Date: 9 Aug 90 00:38:29 GMT References: <13466@cbmvax.commodore.com> Distribution: usa Organization: UNC Educational Computing Service Lines: 16 In the latest tangent of the MSBYS discussion (polite phrase), both Mike Meyer and Dave Haynie expound theoretical considerations on disk thruput. How about measured timings on sample benchmark problems of real machines. Who is willing to supply comparisons? 10 meg copy between two independant disks head assemblies, where the source file(s) are fragmented in non contiguous segments of say 10k each, and the disk drives are of the same kind on each machine. IBM PS/2 70 25Mhz vs A3000/25 or other specific available to the public machines. ----------------------------------------------- Reply-To: Rostyslaw Jarema Lewyckyj urjlew@ecsvax.UUCP , urjlew@unc.bitnet or urjlew@uncvm1.acs.unc.edu (ARPA,SURA,NSF etc. internet) tel.
