Abstract

Techniques are described for formally expressing whether sequences of operations performed on block storage devices are sequential or random. In embodiments, determinations of whether these sequences of operations are sequential or random may be used to predict latencies involved with running particular workloads, and to predict representative workloads for particular latencies.
