Compaction debt

Worked examples, recomputed

Every number the mechanisms quote for this relationship is recomputed from it, so none of them disagrees with it.

• 2 GB/s of merge bandwidth ÷ (10 × 5) → 40 MB/s
• 1 GB/s ÷ 50 → 20 MB/s

Where it appears

Each mechanism states it in its own names. The general symbol each name stands for is shown with it.

• Emergent Failure Dynamics

  What happens when nothing is broken, every component is healthy, and the system's own response to stress makes the stress worse?

  $${\lambda }_{\max }=\frac{\text{disk bandwidth}}{\text{write amplification}}$$
