Abstract
The storage control system reduces the system load on a main storage unit by staggering data transfer to minimize a busy condition on the main memory bus, while maintaining a block size sufficient to ensure a good hit rate in a buffer storage. To achieve such a reduction, the system transfers a variable quantity of data from the buffer storage to the main storage unit, wherein the quantity of data is predetermined based on a detected load on the main storage unit. When the detected load is reduced, another variable quantity of data may be transferred.
