Abstract:
Technology is disclosed for generating predictive cache statistics for various cache sizes. In some embodiments, a storage controller includes a cache tracking mechanism for concurrently generating the predictive cache statistics for various cache sizes for a cache system. The cache tracking mechanism can track simulated cache blocks of a cache system using segmented cache metadata while performing an exemplary workload including various read and write requests (client-initiated I/O operations) received from client systems (or clients). The segmented cache metadata corresponds to one or more of the various cache sizes for the cache system.
