Opportunity - based block replacement
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we consider a block replacement model in which a component can be replaced preventively at maintenance opportunities only. Maintenance opportunities occur randomly and are modelled through a renewal process. In the first, theoretical part of the paper we derive an optimality equation and show that the optimal opportunity block replacement policy can be described as a so-called one-opportunity-look-ahead policy. In the second, computational part we present an exact optimisation algorithm in case of K2-distributed times between opportunities. This algorithm can also be used as an approximative method in case of other times between opportunity distributions. Together with another approximative method, based on the stationary forward recurrence time distribution, its performance is checked with simulation.

One of the most important items for better file system performance is efficient buffering of disk blocks in main memory. Efficient buffering helps to reduce the widespeed gap between main memory and hard disks. In this buffering system, the block replacement policy is one of the most important design decisions that determines which disk block should be replaced when the buffer is full. To o...

We consider opportunity-based age replacement using nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) for the time to failure of a future unit. Based on n observed failure times, NPI provides lower and upper bounds for the survival function for the time to failure Xn+1 of a future unit, which lead to upper and lower cost functions, respectively, for opportunitybased age replacement based on the renewal ...
