Abstract
Described are techniques for determining a cache slot. A set of criteria for each of a plurality of families is received. A received data operation associated with a first of said plurality of families is obtained. It is determined, in accordance with the criteria associated with the received data operation, whether to allocate a cache slot in the cache for the received data operation. The criteria for the first family includes a minimum value and a maximum value used in determining a cache partition size range for the first family. The maximum value is used in determining a maximum cache partition size allowable for the first family.
