Abstract
A change in workload characteristics detected at one tier of a multi-tiered cache is communicated to another tier of the multi-tiered cache. Multiple caching elements exist at different tiers, and at least one tier includes a cache element that is dynamically resizable. The communicated change in workload characteristics causes the receiving tier to adjust at least one aspect of cache performance in the multi-tiered cache. In one aspect, at least one dynamically resizable element in the multi-tiered cache is resized responsive to the change in workload characteristics.
