Abstract: A system and method for tuning a storage system may include characterizing a maximum sustainable throughput for the storage system. The maximum sustainable throughput may be decreased by a primary derate parameter to obtain a primary throughput. Sizes for buffer units may be determined at different stream rates, where during operation the buffer units buffer a data stream between a stream requester and storage. Buffer unit sizes may be determined by generating stream simulators sufficient to consume the primary throughput and then optimizing the buffer sizes to prevent underruns. This may be repeated at different stream rates to determine a table of buffer sizes. The primary throughput may be decreased by a secondary derate parameter to obtain a maximum system bandwidth which sets an upper limit on admission of streams. When buffer sizes are determined, a prefill margin parameter may be set by which request deadlines must be met. Also, an available rate parameter may be set to proportion available bandwidth between rate-guaranteed streams and non-rate-guaranteed requests. The proportion allocated for rate-guaranteed requests may be used to determine buffer sizes that are able to meet the prefill margin. Another parameter may set the length of a seek reorder queue that orders storage requests according to their physical address. This parameter allows a tradeoff between seek efficiency and variability in service time, which may require larger buffer sizes. Also, the block size by which data is accessed in the storage system may be configured.

Abstract: Disclosed are polyester-ether polyols and their use in urethane prepolymers, urethane foams and non-foam urethane coatings, adhesives, sealants and/or elastomers. Methods for producing such polyester-ether polyols using double metal cyanide catalysts are disclosed, along with methods for producing urethane prepolymers. The polyester-ether polyols of the instant invention are preferably the reaction product of phthalic anhydride, diethylene glycol, and propylene oxide. These polyester-ether polyols are useful as either the primary polyol in urethane compositions or in combination with conventional auxiliary polyester- and/or polyether-based polyols. The polyester-ether polyols impart greatly improved solubility and compatibility to mixtures of either polyether and/or polyester polyols. The polyester-ether polyols of the instant invention are desirably of lower viscosity than their precursor intermediate polyester polyols and are generally soluble in either polyester- and/or polyether-based polyols. Additionally, the polyester-ether polyols generally provide improved hydrolytic stability to CASE materials in which they are utilized.
