Abstract
In one embodiment, a system includes a cache storage device and a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor. The logic is configured to receive a plurality of access requests for data in the cache storage device, each request being directed to data in a common cache block descriptor (CBD). The CBD stores metadata corresponding to a storage location of the data in the cache storage device. The logic is also configured to update a request queue to reflect each access request from the plurality of access requests in an order in which individual access requests were received. Moreover, the logic is configured to delay at least some overlapping access requests.
