scan 1. (computer peripheral) See {scanner}. 2. (circuit design) See {scan design}. 3. ({functional programming}) See {scanl}, {scanr}. 4. accesses to a disk. A number of requests are ordered according to the data's position on the storage device. This reduces the disk arm movement to one "scan" or sweep across the whole disk in the worst case. The serivce time can be estimated from the disk's track-to-track {seek} time, maximum seek time (one scan), and maximum {rotational latency}. {Scan-EDF} is a variation on this. (1995-11-15) | |
