Abstract

A data storage node includes a plurality of compute nodes that allocate portions of local memory to a shared cache. The shared cache is configured with mirrored and non- mirrored segments that are sized as a function of the percentage of write IOs and read IOs in a historical traffic workload profile specific to an organization or storage node. The mirrored and non-mirrored segments are separately configured with pools of data slots. Within each segment, each pool is associated with same-size data slots that differ in size relative to the data slots of other pools. The sizes of the pools in the mirrored segment are set based on write IO size distribution in the historical traffic workload profile. The sizes of the pools in the non-mirrored segment are set based on read IO size distribution in the historical traffic workload profile.
