Determining an amount of data of a track to stage into cache using a machine learning module

A computer program product for determining data to stage into cache from a storage, wherein the computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein that when executed performs operations, the operations comprising:

• providing performance attributes related to staging tracks from the storage to the cache to a machine learning module;
• receiving, from the machine learning module having processed the performance attributes, an output indicating a staging strategy indicating an amount of data of a track to stage into the cache comprising one of a plurality of staging strategies;
• and
• staging the amount of data, specified by the staging strategy indicated in the output, from an accessed track that is not in the cache.
