Abstract
A method for writing data to a shared write buffer, the method includes (i) receiving, by a processing circuit of a compute node of a storage system, a write request for writing to the shared write buffer an information unit associated with an accessing entity located outside the storage system; wherein the shared write buffer is stored in a non-volatile memory of a storage node of the storage system; the storage node is in communication with the compute node; (ii) determining, by the processing circuit whether to (a) store the information unit in a non-shared segment of the shared write buffer, or (b) store the information unit in a shared segment of the shared write buffer while applying a locking mechanism; wherein the determining is based on parameters, the parameters include a writing parameter of the accessing entity, a writing latency parameter associated with the accessing entity, and a locking timing parameter; and (iii) storing the information unit according to the determination.
