Abstract
Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for using different algorithms to destage different types of data from cache. A first destaging algorithm is used to destage a first type of data to a storage for a first duration. A second destaging algorithm is used to destage a second type of data to the storage for a second duration.
Claims34
An article of manufacture implementing code enabled to cause operations to communicate with a storage and to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- using a first destaging algorithm to destage a first type of data to a storage for a first duration;
- and
- using a second destaging algorithm to destage a second type of data to the storage for a second duration.
A system coupled to a storage, comprising:
- at least one cache;
- a cache manager coupled to the at least one cache that is enabled to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- using a first destaging algorithm to destage a first type of data from one of the at least one cache to the storage for a first duration;
- and
- using a second destaging algorithm to destage a second type of data from one of the at least one cache to the storage for a second duration.
A method, comprising:
- using a first destaging algorithm to destage a first type of data to a storage for a first duration;
- and
- using a second destaging algorithm to destage a second type of data to the storage for a second duration.
