Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for enhancing local node performance in a storage system through offloading cache replacement tasks to remote nodes. A periodic time-series analysis of CPU cycle utilization and network latency is conducted on one or more arrays to identify and/or forecast underutilized nodes in the one or more arrays. A first array detects a shortage of available cache slots in an allocation queue and identifies underutilized remote nodes in either its own array or another array. The array shares the metadata pages with the remote node. A worker thread on the remote node runs a search algorithm on the received meta data pages and creates a list of candidate replacement memory slots.
