Abstract
Technology for operating a cache sizing system is disclosed. In various embodiments, the technology monitors input/output (IO) accesses to a storage system within a monitor period; tracks an access map for storage addresses within the storage system during the monitor period; and counts a particular access condition of the IO accesses based on the access map during the monitor period. When sizing a cache of the storage system that enables the storage system to provide a specified level of service, the counting is for computing a working set size (WSS) estimate of the storage system.
