A virtual object contains the worst values seen in each
sequential access. For each seen object, the algorithm performs random access for retrieving unseen values and compares pair-wise the seen objects versus the updated virtual object.
Disk libraries leverage the random-access nature of disk compared with the
sequential access nature of tape.
Xbridge Host Data Connect enables Windows(r), Web and mobile applications to quickly and securely access virtually all OS/390(r) and z/OS(tm) mainframe data including Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM), Queued
Sequential Access Method (QSAM), DataBase 2 (DB2) and IMS DB, and to see the data in the format of the requesting application (e.g., Excel), all in real time and without programming.
A
Sequential Access File Translation Layer helps to overcome MLC NAND access sequence limitations and reduced partial-page programming.
Some history is in order: The IT shop probably started life on the mainframe, using esoteric formats and languages such as VSAM (Virtual Storage Access Method), QSAM (Queued
Sequential Access Method) and COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language).
Specifically, VSAM (Virtual Storage Access Method), QSAM (Queued
Sequential Access Method) and Database 2 (DB2) data can be accessed -- on demand -- through intranets, extranets or the Internet, without requiring additional IT resources.
Taken together, these results favour a model of parallel rather than
sequential access and suggest some degree of independence in the access to personal semantics and names.
Here, it can be seen that a strictly
sequential access pattern will result in a cache miss for every other cache block when the prefetch-on-miss algorithm is used but this same access pattern results in only one cache miss when employing a tagged prefetch algorithm.
