Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to cache memory management. Based on anticipated input/output (I/O) workloads, at least one or more of: sizes of one or more mirrored and un-mirrored caches of global memory and their respective cache slot pools are dynamically balanced. Each of the mirrored/unmirrored caches can be segmented into one or more cache pools, each having slots of a distinct size. Cache pool can be assigned an amount of the one or more cache slots of the distinct size based on the anticipated I/O workloads. Cache pools can be further assigned the amount of distinctly sized cache slots based on expected service levels (SLs) of a customer. Cache pools can also be assigned the amount of the distinctly sized cache slots based on one or more of predicted I/O request sizes and predicted frequencies of different I/O request sizes of the anticipated I/O workloads.
