Abstract
A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and system are provided for implementing a cache offloader. A current cache memory usage is compared with a memory threshold. Responsive to the current cache memory usage exceeding the memory threshold, cache records are selected to be offloaded. Available memory in a plurality of computer systems is identified and the selected cache records are sent to the identified available memory. Transactional systems are dynamically enabled to use memory cache across multiple connected computer systems on demand eliminating conventional evictor and data miss issues that adversely impact performance.
