Abstract
Host memory buffer is dynamically adjusted based on performance. As memory pages are accessed, one or more counts of the memory pages are maintained. If the counts indicate some of the memory pages are identical, then a portion of host system memory allocated to buffer cache may be reduced or decremented in response to repetitive access. However, if the counts indicate different memory pages are accessed, then the host system memory allocated to the buffer cache may be increased or incremented.
