Abstract

A first cache of a first IOA is detected storing an amount of data that satisfies a memory shortage threshold. A request for extra memory for the first IOA is transmitted. The request is sent in response to detecting that the first cache stores the amount of data that satisfies the memory shortage threshold. The request is transmitted to a plurality of IOAs of a computer system. A second cache of a second IOA is detected storing an amount of data that satisfies a memory dissemination threshold. Memory of the second cache is allocated to the first cache. The memory is allocated in response to the request and the amount of data in the second cache satisfying the memory dissemination threshold.
