Abstract

The disclosed technology provides for selection of a subset of available non-volatile memory devices in an array to receive a dirty cache data of a volatile cache responsive to detection of a power failure. In one implementation, the selection of the non-volatile memory devices is based on one or more predictive power parameters usable to estimate a time remaining during which a reserve power supply can support a cache offload to the selected subset of devices.
