US 2013/0086325 A1 · DYNAMIC CACHE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF FORMATION

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a dynamic cache system comprising: a multi-level inspector design that handles multi-level data formats; a cache function design that handles multi-level data formats; a cache size controller design that is able to handle the varying cache sizes based on characteristics such as hit-rates, usage patterns, etc.; a cache behavior controller design that handles different types of files; and heterogeneous storage controller design that is configured to handle volumes of the storage based on the types of storage (RAM Disk, flash, HDD, etc.). Advantages of system include (among others): caching for different types of data when different types of data need to be cached, and/or cache size can be allocated based on the cache level (which itself can be established).
