Abstract

A method of managing CPU cores in a data storage apparatus (DSA) configured to perform both host I/O (Input/Output) processing and background storage processing is provided. The method includes (a) selectively classifying background storage tasks in one of a first classification for longer-running tasks and a second classification for shorter-running tasks; (b) selecting CPU cores that are running fewer than a threshold number of first-classification background tasks to process host I/O requests; and (c) processing the host I/O requests on their selected CPU cores. An apparatus, system, and computer program product for performing a similar method are also provided.
