Book excerpt: This dissertation's self-scaling benchmark seeks to measure and report relevant workloads for a wide range of input/output systems. To do so, it scales aspects of its workload to account for the differences in I/O systems. For example, it dynamically discovers the size of the system's file cache and reports how performance varies both in and out of the file cache. The general approach taken is to scale based on the range of workloads the system performs well.
