There are a plurality of lists, wherein there is one list for each of the plurality of processors. A determination is made as to whether the counts of processor accesses of tracks are unbalanced. A first caching method is used to select one of the lists to indicate a track to add to the cache in response to determining that the counts are unbalanced. A second caching method is used to select one of the lists to indicate the track to add to the cache in response to determining that the counts are balanced. The first and second caching methods provide different techniques for selecting one of the lists.
