Abstract
A method, a computing device, and a non-transitory machine-readable medium for modifying cache settings in the array cache are provided. Cache settings are set in an array cache, such that the array cache caches data in an input/output (I/O) stream based on the cache settings. Multiple cache simulators simulate the caching the data from the I/O stream in the array cache using different cache settings in parallel with the array cache. The cache settings in the array cache are replaced with the cache settings from one of the cache simulators based on the determination that the cache simulators increase effectiveness of caching data in the array cache.
