Abstract

This disclosure relates to a method, a system and a computer program product for tracking heat values. The method includes monitoring a first number of access operations to first data in each of a plurality of first source storage units during a cycle. The method further includes, for each of the plurality of first source storage units, calculating a first heat value based on the first number of access operations. Additionally, the method includes, in response to source data being moved from one of the first source storage units to a first target storage unit during the cycle, decreasing a calculated heat value of the one first source storage unit by a first value and increasing a calculated heat value of the first target storage unit by the first value.
