Tests

What rate of physical access to data is being measured?

Precisions

The consumption of processing resources is higher when information has to be collected on physical media (disks, networks) rather than in RAM memory. The most frequently accessed data should benefit from this solution to reduce the energy of access, and reduce the need of high performance.
