Abstract
In accordance with one implementation, a method for reducing cache service time includes determining an access time parameter associated with movement of a read/write head to an access location for each of a plurality of contiguous cache storage segments and dynamically selecting one of the plurality of contiguous cache storage segments to store data based on the determined access time parameter.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining an access time parameter associated with movement of a read/write head to a position to access each of a plurality of contiguous cache storage segments;
- and
- dynamically selecting one of the plurality of contiguous cache storage segments to store data based on the determined access time parameter.
A system comprising:
- a rotating storage media;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine an access time parameter associated with movement of a read/write head to a position to access each of a plurality of contiguous cache storage segments on the rotating storage media, and
- dynamically select one of the contiguous cache storage segments to receive data based on the determined access time parameter.
One or more tangible computer-readable storage media encoding computer-executable instructions for executing on a computer system a computer process, the computer process comprising:
- determining an access time parameter associated with movement of a read/write head to a position to access each of a plurality of contiguous cache storage segments;
- and
- dynamically selecting one of the plurality of contiguous cache storage segments to store data based on the determined access time parameter.
