-==== Jupyter Notebook ​====+==== 01. [10p] Rotational delay - IOPS calculations ​==== 
 + 
 +<note tip> 
 +Every disk in your storage system has a maximum theoretical IOPS value that is based on a formula. Disk performance and IOPS is based on three key factors: 
 + 
 +  * **Rotational speed**. Measured in RPM, mostly 7,200, 10,000 or 15,000 RPM. A higher rotational speed is associated with a higher-performing disk. 
 +  * **Average latency**. The time it takes for the sector of the disk being accessed to rotate into position under a read/write head. 
 +  * **Average seek time**. The time (in ms) it takes for the hard drive’s read/write head to position itself over the track being read or written. 
 +  * **Average IOPS**: Divide 1 by the sum of the average latency in ms and the average seek time in ms (1 / (average latency in ms + average seek time in ms). 
 +</​note>​ 
 +To calculate the **IOPS range** divide 1 by the sum of the average latency in ms and the average seek time in ms. The formula is:  
 +<​code>​average IOPS = 1 / (average latency in ms + average seek time in ms). 
 +</​code>​ 
 + 
 +Let's calculate the Rotational Delay - RD for a 10K RPM drive: 
 + 
 +  * Divide 10000 RPM by 60 seconds: **''​10000/​60 = 166 RPS''​** 
 +  * Convert 1 of 166 to decimal: **''​1/​166 = 0.006 seconds per Rotation''​** 
 +  * Multiply the seconds per rotation by 1000 milliseconds (6 MS per rotation). 
 +  * Divide the total in half (RD is considered half a revolution around a disk): **''​6/​2 = 3 MS''​** 
 +  * Add an average of 3 MS for seek time: **''​3 MS + 3 MS = 6 MS''​** 
 +  * Add 2 MS for latency (internal transfer): **''​6 MS + 2 MS = 8 MS''​** 
 +  * Divide 1000 MS by 8 MS per I/O: **''​1000/​8 = 125 IOPS''​** 
 + 
 +=== [10p] Task A - Calculate rotational delay === 
 + 
 +Add in your archive the operations and the result you obtained. (Screenshot,​ picture of calculations made by hand on paper) 
 + 
 +Calculate the Rotational Delay, and then the IOPS for a __5400 RPM drive__. 
 + 
 +<​solution -hidden>​ 
 +As shown in the //"​Calculating IOs Per Second"//​ section: 
 +<​code>​ 
 +5400 / 60 = 90 RPS 
 +1/90 = 0.011 seconds per Rotation 
 +0.011 * 1000 = 11ms per Rotation 
 +11 / 2 = 5.5ms RD (Rotational Delay = half a revolution around a disk) 
 +add approx. 3ms seek time => 8.5ms 
 +add 2ms latency => 10.5ms 
 +Divide 1000ms by 10.5ms per I/O => approx. 95 IOPS

-For this lab, we will use Google Colab for exploring numpy as matplotlib. Please solve your tasks [[https://​colab.research.google.com/​drive/​1k4lwj9GyKLhMhtTt9fK4g1HCvfAtq8jX#​scrollTo=2QBi51Q2Yan2&​forceEdit=true&​sandboxMode=true|here]]. 
  
-You can then export this python notebook as a PDF (File -> Print) and upload it to Moodle.
