Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to data cache management. In embodiments, a logical block address (LBA) bucket is established with at least one logical LBA group. Additionally, at least one LBA group is associated with two or more distinctly sized cache slots based on an input/output (IO) workload received by the storage array. Further, the association includes binding the two or more distinctly sized cache slots with at least one LBA group and mapping the bound distinctly sized cache slots in a searchable data structure. Furthermore, the searchable data structure identifies relationships between slot pointers and key metadata.
