Abstract
A method for execution by a dispersed storage and task (DST) execution unit that includes a processor includes receiving a vault access request indicating a first one of a plurality of vaults. Processing unit options data that indicates a set of DST processing units is generated based on an access cache that includes a plurality of access entries, where each DST processing unit in the set of DST processing units is indicated in a first one of the plurality of access entries, and where the first one of the plurality of access entries further indicates the first one of the plurality of vaults. A DST processing unit is selected from the set of DST processing units to execute the vault access request based on the processing unit options data. An instruction that includes the vault access request is generated for transmission to the first DST processing unit. A new access entry that includes a vault identifier indicating the first one of the plurality of vaults indicated by the vault access request and a processor identifier indicating the first DST processing unit is generated. The access cache is updated by adding the new access entry to the access cache.
