Abstract: A change in workload characteristics detected at one tier of a multi-tiered cache is communicated to another tier of the multi-tiered cache. Multiple caching elements exist at different tiers, and at least one tier includes a cache element that is dynamically resizable. The communicated change in workload characteristics causes the receiving tier to adjust at least one aspect of cache performance in the multi-tiered cache. In one aspect, at least one dynamically resizable element in the multi-tiered cache is resized responsive to the change in workload characteristics.

Abstract translation: 在多层缓存的一层检测到的工作负载特性的改变被传送到多层高速缓存的另一层。 多个缓存元素存在于不同的层，并且至少一个层包括可动态调整大小的高速缓存元素。 所传达的工作负载特性的改变使得接收层在多层缓存中调整缓存性能的至少一个方面。 在一个方面，响应于工作负载特性的变化来调整多层缓存中的至少一个可动态调整大小的元素。
