Abstract
The present invention includes dynamically analyzing look-up requests from a cache look-up algorithm to look-up data block tags corresponding to blocks of data previously inserted into a cache memory, to determine a cache related parameter. After analysis of a specific look-up request, a block of data corresponding to the tag looked up by the look-up request may be accessed from the cache memory or from a mass storage device.
