Patent number: 11755481Abstract: Techniques for universal cache management are described. In an example embodiment, a plurality of caches are allocated, in volatile memory of a computing device, to a plurality of data-processing instances, where each one of the plurality of caches is exclusively allocated to a separate one of the plurality of data-processing instances. A common cache is allocated in the volatile memory of the computing device, where the common cache is shared by the plurality of data-processing instances. Each instance of the plurality of data-processing instances is configured to: identify a data block in the particular cache allocated to that instance, where the data block has not been changed since the data block was last persistently written to one or more storage devices; cause the data block to be stored in the common cache; and remove the data block from the particular cache. Data blocks in the common cache are maintained without being persistently written to the one or more storage devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2018Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Prasad V. Bagal, Rich Long

A common cache is allocated in the volatile memory of the computing device, where the common cache is shared by the plurality of data-processing instances. Each instance of the plurality of data-processing instances is configured to: indentify a data block in the particular cache allocated to that instance, where the data block has not been changed since the data block was last persistently written to one or more storage devices; cause the data block to be stored in the common cache; and remove the data block from the particular cache. Data blocks in the common cache are maintained without being persistently written to the one or more storage devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2018Publication date: February 14, 2019Inventors: Prasad V.
