Abstract: Maintaining multiple cache areas in a storage device having multiple processors includes loading data from a specific portion of non-volatile storage into a local cache slot in response to a specific processor of a first subset of the processors performing a read operation to the specific portion of non-volatile storage, where the local cache slot is accessible to the first subset of the processors and is inaccessible to a second subset of the processors that is different than the first subset of the processors and includes converting the local cache slot into a global cache slot in response to one of the processors performing a write operation to the specific portion of non-volatile storage, wherein the global cache area is accessible to the first subset of the processors and to the second subset of the processors. Different ones of the processors may be placed on different directors.

Abstract: Maintaining multiple cache areas in a storage device having multiple processors includes loading data into a first local cache in response to a first processor of a first subset of the processors performing a read operation to the specific portion of non-volatile storage, where the first local cache is accessible to the first subset of the processors and is inaccessible to other processors, loading data into a second local cache in response to a second processor of the second subset of the processors performing a read operation to the specific portion of non-volatile storage, where the second local cache is accessible to the second subset of the processors and is inaccessible to other processors, and loading data into a global cache in response to one of the processors performing a write operation to the specific portion of non-volatile storage, where the global cache is accessible to all the processors.
