Abstract
Dynamic allocation of cache buffer slots includes receiving a request to perform an operation that requires a storage buffer slot, the storage buffer slot residing in a level of storage. The dynamic allocation of cache buffer slots also includes determining availability of the storage buffer slot for the cache index as specified by the request. Upon determining the storage buffer slot is not available, the dynamic allocation of cache buffer slots includes evicting data stored in the storage buffer slot, and reserving the storage buffer slot for data associated with the request.
