Preemptibility

The experiments for preemptibility of disk access measure the duration of (non-preemptible) disk commands in both non-preemptible IO and Semi-preemptible IO in the absence of higher-priority IO requests. The results include both detailed distribution of disk commands durations (and hence maximum possible waiting time) and the expected waiting time calculated using Equations 1 and 2, as explained in Section 3.
