SPC2-VOD workload

The SPC-2 benchmark is designed to demonstrate the performance of a storage subsystem when running business critical applications that require the large-scale, sequential movement of data. It is comprised of tests that simulate applications characterized by large I/Os. One such test which is purely reads (and hence of interest to us), is the Video on Demand test which simulates individualized video entertainment provided to a community of subscribers, by drawing from a digital film library [39]. The workload creates the specified number of sequential streams that read $256$ KB on each I/O with a thinktime of $333.3$ ms.
