Abstract:
A method, device, and non-transitory computer readable medium that manages replacement in a distributed cache environment includes determining a cache value of a new item associated with one of a plurality of I/O cache resources. A cache value of a least valuable other item in the plurality of I/O cache resources is obtained. A determination is made when the cache value of the new item is greater than the cache value of the least valuable other item in the plurality of I/O cache resources. The least valuable other item is replaced with the new item when the determination indicates the cache value of the new item is greater than the cache value of the least valuable other item.
