    Abstract

    This short report (1) describes an energy model for the seek and read/write operations in a mass-balanced Y-scanner for parallel-probe storage by IBM [1] and (2) updates the settings of the MEMS model in DiskSim with recent published figures from this XY-scanner. To speedup system simulations, a straight forward second-order model is used without control loop. Read/write operation is modeled by quasi-static calculations. To approximate seek behavior, ’bang-bang’ control is assumed; the result is close to the actual behavior with control loop [2]. Unfortunately, no energy measurements were available to validate the model. Using the proposed energy model, we are able to study the energy consumption of a MEMS-based storage device for different application areas and file systems.
