Using sub-region I/O history to cache repeatedly accessed sub-regions in a non-volatile storage device
Abstract:
Systems, methods and/or devices are used to enable using sub-region I/O history to cache repeatedly accessed sub-regions in a non-volatile storage device. In one aspect, the method includes (1) receiving a plurality of input/output (I/O) requests including read requests and write requests to be performed in a plurality of regions in a logical address space of a host, and (2) performing one or more operations for each region of the plurality of regions in the logical address space of the host, including, for each sub-region of a plurality of sub-regions of the region: (a) determining whether the sub-region is accessed more than a predetermined threshold number of times during a predetermined time period, and (b) if so, caching, from a storage medium of the storage device to a cache of the storage device, data from the sub-region.
