  • Multi-Tiered Cache with Storage Medium Awareness
    Publication number: 20130346672
    Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards a multi-tiered cache having cache tiers with different access properties. Objects are written to a selected a tier of the cache based upon object-related properties and/or cache-related properties.

  • Consistent Hashing Table for Workload Distribution
    Publication number: 20130263151
    Abstract: Described is a technology by which a consistent hashing table of bins maintains values representing nodes of a distributed system. An assignment stage uses a consistent hashing function and a selection algorithm to assign values that represent the nodes to the bins. In an independent mapping stage, a mapping mechanism deterministically maps an object identifier/key to one of the bins as a mapped-to bin.
