A combination of non-persistent-based and persistent-based schemes are used to effectively manage volatile storages which are conventionally managed solely by using non-persistent schemes (e.g., LRU schemes in cache memory). Generally, the persistent-based schemes can be based on persistent information associated with a non-volatile storage environment (e.g., persistent data temperatures associated with data stored in non-volatile storages). In this context, a persistent-based scheme can, for example, be effectively used in addition or combination with a conventional scheme provided for volatile memory. By way of example, a LRU scheme can be combined with a scheme based on persistent data temperatures in order to more effectively manage cache memory provided to enhance the performance of a system. As another example, a LRU, a LFU aging schemes can be combined with a scheme based on persistent data temperatures.
A method of managing data in a volatile storage, wherein the method is implemented at least partly by a device, and wherein the method comprises:
A device that includes one or more processors configured to manage data in a volatile storage by at least using a combination of a data temperature-based storage management technique and one or more non-temperature-based storage management techniques together to manage the storage of data in the volatile storage, wherein a first portion of the volatile memory is used to provide the temperature-based storage management technique and a second portion of the volatile memory is used to provide non-temperature-based storage management technique.
A device that includes one or more processors configured to manage data in a volatile storage by at least using a combination of a data temperature-based storage management technique and one or more non-temperature-based storage management techniques together to manage the storage of data in the volatile storage, wherein a first portion of the volatile memory is used to provide the temperature-based storage management technique, a second portion of the volatile memory is used to provide a first non-temperature-based storage management technique, and a third portion of the volatile memory is used to provide a second non-temperature-based storage management technique, different than the first non-temperature-based storage management technique.
