Why zipf distribution can not be 1.0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Is the 'zipf theta' the value of the exponent characterizing the zipf
distribution? If so, why could not it be 1.0? With the following job
file, fio sent out an error - fio: zipf theta must different than 1.0.

[job]
ioengine=null
rw=randread
norandommap
size=1280m
bs=4k
random_distribution=zipf:1

I looked through the fio zipf library but was confused with
zipf_next() function? Any illustration about this zipf distribution
generator?

Thanks
Yufei
