Abstract
This paper deals with I/O throughput maximization in a single processo r/multidisk database system, by means of optimal allocation of entire relations (or other nonfragmented data objects) to disks. We examine t he cases in which such allocation is beneficial, and present a mathema tical formulation of the problem. This formulation is shown to be flex ible enough to accommodate various objectives and.constraints of a typ ical system design.
