AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER SERVICE CORPORATION Fall 1989 VAX SIG Tape Submission Paul R. Sorenson AEP/Engineering Computer Support Center 1 Riverside Plaza Columbus, OH 43215 This is a maintenance release of AEPSC's Spring 1989 submission containing: 1) VDDRIVER - Virtual disk driver (no changes made). 2) CDDRIVER - Disk data caching driver. Bugs in the original submission have been fixed and the caching algorithm has been rewritten to use a "block-set associative-mapping" technique. Consult the AAAREADME.TXT files in each subdirectory for more information on the features of each driver. Note that by creating a virtual disk and creating the same sized cache for the virtual disk, one can approach the I/O performance of a memory disk while always maintaining an up to date copy of the data on a physical disk.
