Abstract
This paper describes the concept of dynamic file management. The objective of the theoretical model defined is to minimize the throughput time of any computer system with a multilevel store. A measure of throughput time is derived to be a function of job run time, file movement time, and file configuration choice time. This, plus locally imposed exogenous policies, provides a basis for dynamically moving files within the multilevel store to minimize throughput time.
