A computer-implemented method and a computer system for improving cached workload management. A host, which is in a system comprising the host and a storage system, obtains information about classes of applications accessing the storage system. The host determines input/output queues dedicated to respective ones of the classes. The storage system creates, in the storage system, cache partitions dedicated to the respective ones of the classes, based on information about classes. The host creates the input/output queues and sets bit flags for respective ones of the input/output queues. The host pumps inputs/outputs coming from the respective ones of the classes to the respective ones of the input/output queues. The storage system directs the input/output queues to respective ones of the cache partitions.
