摘要： Disclosed is a system for caching data. After determining a sequential access of a first memory area, such as a direct access storage device (DASD), a processing unit stages a group of data sets from the first memory area to a second memory, such as cache. The processing unit processes a data access request (DAR) for data sets in the first memory area that are included in the sequential access and reads the requested data sets from the second memory area. The processing unit determines trigger data set from a plurality of trigger data sets based on a trigger data set criteria. The processing unit then stages a next group of data sets from the first memory area to the second memory area in response to reading the determined trigger data set.

摘要： Disclosed is a method, system, and article of manufacture for processing modified meta data for data recovery operations. The meta data provides information on user data maintained in a storage device. The system determines whether meta data tracks maintained in a cache were modified and indicates in a non-volatile memory that the determined meta data tracks were modified. Data recovery operations may be initiated as a result of a system failure, such as a warmstart or coldstart recovery. During such data recovery operations, the system processes the non-volatile memory and the indications of modified meta data tracks therein to rebuild lost meta data tracks in the cache.
摘要翻译：公开了用于处理用于数据恢复操作的修改的元数据的方法，系统和制品。元数据提供有关存储设备中维护的用户数据的信息。该系统确定在高速缓存中维护的元数据轨道是否被修改，并且在非易失性存储器中指示修改了所确定的元数据轨道。数据恢复操作可能由于系统故障（如热启动或冷启动恢复）而启动。在这种数据恢复操作期间，系统处理非易失性存储器及其中修改的元数据轨迹的指示，以重构高速缓存中的丢失的元数据轨道。

摘要： Disclosed is a method, system, and article of manufacture for managing meta data. The meta data provides information on data maintained in a storage device. The system receives a request for meta data from a process and determines whether the requested meta data is in cache. After determining that the requested meta data is not in cache, the system determines whether there are a sufficient number of allocatable segments in cache to stage in the meta data and allocates segments in cache to store the meta data after determining that there are enough allocatable segments in cache. The system stages the requested meta data into the allocated segments. Alternatively, after determining that the requested meta data is in cache, the system determines whether a second process has exclusive access to the meta data in cache. After determining that the second process does not have exclusive access, the system indicates to the first process that access to the meta data is permitted. Otherwise, after determining that the second process has exclusive access, the system notifies the first process that access to the meta data track will be provided at a later time when the second process relinquishes exclusive access.

摘要： Disclosed is a cache management scheme using multiple data structure. A first and second data structures, such as linked lists, indicate data entries in a cache. Each data structure has a most recently used (MRU) entry, a least recently used (LRU) entry, and a time value associated with each data entry indicating a time the data entry was indicated as added to the MRU entry of the data structure. A processing unit receives a new data entry. In response, the processing unit processes the first and second data structures to determine a LRU data entry in each data structure and selects from the determined LRU data entries the LRU data entry that is the least recently used. The processing unit then demotes the selected LRU data entry from the cache and data structure including the selected data entry. The processing unit adds the new data entry to the cache and indicates the new data entry as located at the MRU entry of one of the first and second data structures.
摘要翻译：公开了一种使用多种数据结构的缓存管理方案。第一和第二数据结构（例如链表）指示高速缓存中的数据条目。每个数据结构具有最近使用的（MRU）条目，最近最少使用的（LRU）条目以及与每个数据条目相关联的时间值，指示数据条目被指示为添加到数据结构的MRU条目的时间。处理单元接收新的数据条目。作为响应，处理单元处理第一和第二数据结构以确定每个数据结构中的LRU数据条目，并从所确定的LRU数据条目中选择最近最少使用的LRU数据条目。然后，处理单元从所述高速缓存中降级所选择的LRU数据条目，并且包括所选择的数据条目的数据结构。处理单元将新的数据条目添加到高速缓存并且指示位于第一和第二数据结构之一的MRU条目处的新数据条目。

摘要： Disclosed is a system for managing data in cache. A list of data entries in a first memory area has a first end and a second end, such as a most recently used (MRU) end and least recently used (LRU) end. A first pointer addresses a data entry in the list and a second pointer addresses another data entry in the list that is not at the first and second ends. Data from a second memory area is provided to add to the list. A determination is made as to whether the provided data to add to the list is one of a first type and second type of data, such as sequentially accessed data or non-sequentially accessed data. The provided data is stored in the first memory area as a new data entry in the list. The first pointer is modified to address the new data entry after determining that the provided data is of the first type. After determining that the provided data is of the second type, the second pointer is processed to determine where to add the new data entry to the list between the first and second ends.
