    摘要: A scheduler for selecting a logical volume for scheduling pending I/O tasks for job generation. The scheduler includes a main scheduler that selects from among multiple sub-schedulers that operate according to different scheduling approaches, e.g., high priority read I/O request scheduling, urgency of non-read I/O tasks, as well as load balancing and round robin schemes. In selecting a sub-scheduler, the main scheduler considers the amount of time allocated to performing read I/O requests, as well as the level of urgency associated with the logical volumes and the disk adapter that manages those logical volumes for non-read I/O tasks.

    摘要: Scheduling jobs for a plurality of logical devices associated with physical devices includes assigning a physical run count value and a physical skip count value to each of the physical devices, at each iteration, examining the physical skip count value and the physical run count value for each of the physical devices, and scheduling a number of jobs up to the physical run count value for logical devices associated with a particular one of the physical devices at each iteration corresponding to the physical skip count value for the particular one of the physical devices. The physical skip count value and the physical run count value for a particular one of the physical devices may vary according to a total load of the particular physical device. The total load of the particular physical device may vary according to a number of jobs for all logical devices associated with the particular physical device and a total number of all jobs for all physical devices associated with a particular physical device controller.

    摘要: Scheduling jobs for a plurality of devices includes assigning a run count value to each of the devices, scheduling a number of consecutive jobs up to the run count value, and decrementing the run count value according to the number of consecutive jobs scheduled. The run count value for a particular one of the devices may vary according to a total load of the particular one of the devices. The total load of the particular device may vary according to a number of pending jobs for the particular device and a total number of jobs for all devices coupled to a controller for the devices. The devices may be disk drive devices. Only one read job may be scheduled for a device irrespective of the run count value for the device and devices having pending read jobs may be given precedence over other devices. Multiple read jobs may be scheduled for a device according to the run count value and devices having pending read jobs may be given precedence over other devices. The disk drive devices may be subdivided into a plurality of logical devices.

    摘要: Data units are prefetched into a cache memory by executing a first prefetch task to prefetch a first prefetch series of data units from off-cache. A first prefetch operation is executed to prefetch and store a first selected set of data units. Decisions are made about the first prefetch task, subsequent prefetch operations and prefetch tasks based on in-cache data units associated with the first prefetch task and on other data units that are read from off-cache but that are not associated with the first prefetch task. A determination is made whether an additional data unit that is read from an off-cache logical location is a first prefetch series member. If so, it is associated with the first prefetch task, and, for decision making, is treated as having been prefetched into cache in accordance with the first prefetch task.

    摘要: Described are techniques for processing a data operation in a data storage system. A front-end component of the data storage system receives the data operation. In response to receiving the data operation, the front-end component performs first processing. The first processing includes determining whether the data operation is a read operation requesting to read a data portion which results in a cache miss; and if said determining determines that the data operation is a read operation resulting in a cache miss, performing read miss processing. Read miss processing includes sequential stream recognition processing performed by the front-end component to determine whether the data portion is included in a sequential stream.

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed that relate to scheduling the processing of I/O requests in a cache for a plurality of logical devices associated with the cache. An exemplary method includes identifying a minimum target number of write destages to be performed with respect to a logical device per unit time. In identifying the minimum target number, factors such as a write pending count and an average queue length of writes pending may be considered. The method further includes enforcing the target minimum number of write destages. A disclosed method of enforcing the target includes tracking the number of write destages performed on the logical device and increasing a priority for a write request to the logical device when the minimum target number of write destages is not met.
