A method, comprising:
- storing cache metadata from a first media to a second media having a lower latency than the first media.
A system, comprising:
- a first media adapted to store cache data and metadata corresponding to the cache data;
- and
- a second media adapted to cache the metadata, wherein an access time of the second media is less than an access time of the first media.
An article comprising a storage medium having stored thereon instructions, that, when executed by a computing platform, result in:
- storing cache metadata from a first media to a second media having a lower latency than the first media.
A system, comprising:
- a nonvolatile memory adapted to store data and corresponding metadata;
- and
- a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) adapted to cache the metadata.
