About the Author
Bruce McNutt is a senior scientist/engineer working in
the Storage Subsystems Division of International Business
Machines Corporation. He has specialized in disk storage
performance since joining IBM in 1983. Among the many
papers which he has presented to the annual conference
of the Computer Measurement Group, as an active par
-
ticipant for more than fifteen years, are two that received
CMG “best paper” awards. The present book brings to
-
gether two threads which have run through his work: the
hierarchical reuse model of data reference, first introduced in 1991 , and the
multiple
-
workload approach to cache planning, first introduced in 1987. Mr.
McNutt received his B.S. degree in mathematics from Stanford University, and
his master’s degree in electrical engineering and computer science from the
University of California at Berkeley.
