Abstract
Cluster data is generated based on a history of storage operations. The cluster data may include an address range and an access history. The access history may comprise a bit pattern that represents a history of storage operations associated with a cluster. A prefix or counter may identify the number of storage operations identified in the bit pattern. The bit pattern and/or address range may be updated to reflect new storage operations associated with the cluster. The bit pattern then may determine when to cache data in a cache memory.
