摘要:
The population of data to be admitted into secondary data storage cache of a data storage system is controlled by determining heat metrics of data of the data storage system. If candidate data is submitted for admission into the secondary cache, data is selected to tentatively be evicted from the secondary cache; candidate data provided to the secondary data storage cache is rejected if its heat metric is less than the heat metric of the tentatively evicted data; and candidate data submitted for admission to the secondary data storage cache is admitted if its heat metric is equal to or greater than the heat metric of the tentatively evicted data.
摘要:
For efficient track destage in secondary storage in a more effective manner, for temporal bits employed with sequential bits for controlling the timing for destaging the track in a primary storage, the temporal bits and sequential bits are transferred from the primary storage to the secondary storage. The temporal bits are allowed to age on the secondary storage.

For movement of partial data segments within a computing storage environment having lower and higher levels of cache by a processor, a whole data segment containing one of the partial data segments is promoted to both the lower and higher levels of cache. Requested data of the whole data segment is split and positioned at a Most Recently Used (MRU) portion of a demotion queue of the higher level of cache. Unrequested data of the whole data segment is split and positioned at a Least Recently Used (LRU) portion of the demotion queue of the higher level of cache. The unrequested data is pinned in place until a write of the whole data segment to the lower level of cache completes.
摘要:
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for managing data in a first cache and a second cache. A reference count is maintained in the second cache for the page when the page is stored in the second cache. It is determined that the page is to be promoted from the second cache to the first cache. In response to determining that the reference count is greater than zero, the page is added to a Least Recently Used (LRU) end of an LRU list in the first cache. In response to determining that the reference count is less than or equal to zero, the page is added to a Most Recently Used (LRU) end of the LRU list in the first cache.

摘要:
The population of data to be inserted into secondary data storage cache is controlled by determining a heat metric of candidate data; adjusting a heat metric threshold; rejecting candidate data provided to the secondary data storage cache whose heat metric is less than the threshold; and admitting candidate data whose heat metric is equal to or greater than the heat metric threshold. The adjustment of the heat metric threshold is determined by comparing a reference metric related to hits of data most recently inserted into the secondary data storage cache, to a reference metric related to hits of data most recently evicted from the secondary data storage cache; if the most recently inserted reference metric is greater than the most recently evicted reference metric, decrementing the threshold; and if the most recently inserted reference metric is less than the most recently evicted reference metric, incrementing the threshold.

摘要:
Space of a data storage memory of a data storage memory system is reclaimed by determining heat metrics of data stored in the data storage memory; determining relocation metrics related to relocation of the data within the data storage memory; determining utility metrics of the data relating the heat metrics to the relocation metrics for the data; and making the data whose utility metric fails a utility metric threshold, available for space reclamation. Thus, data that otherwise may be evicted or demoted, but that meets or exceeds the utility metric threshold, is exempted from space reclamation and is instead maintained in the data storage memory.
