Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer system includes a cache having one or more memories and a metadata service. The metadata service is able to receive requests for data stored in the cache from a first client and from a second client. The metadata service is further able to determine whether the performance of the cache would be improved by relocating the data stored in the cache. The metadata service is further operable to relocate the data stored in the cache when such relocation would improve the performance of the cache.
