Abstract: Managing data in cache includes providing data from a disk storage area to a first cache memory, providing data from the disk storage area to a second cache memory, where the first and second cache memories contain at least some data that is not stored in the other one of the cache memories, and writing the same data to both of the cache memories in response to the data being modified while stored in the cache memories. Managing data in a cache may also include subdividing the first cache memory into primary and secondary storage areas, subdividing the second cache memory into primary and secondary storage areas, where primary areas of the first cache correspond to secondary areas of the second cache and where secondary areas of the first cache correspond to primary areas of the second cache, and providing data from the disk storage area to the one of the cache memories having a corresponding primary storage area.
