ABSTRACT:
A shared system memory buffers data transfers between a plurality of host computers and a plurality of data storage devices. The system memory includes a cache memory and a number of queues and structures to facilitate performance. Management of a replacement queue within the system memory is based on the elapsed time and usage of the data element. If the elapsed time of a data element to be updated is less than a threshold, the data element will remain in the same location of the replacement queue; if the elapsed time is greater than the threshold, the data element is placed at the tail of the replacement queue. The threshold may be determined by dynamically monitoring the stress of the cache memory. The updating of the replacement queue is also affected by the number of times the data element has been accessed while in the replacement queue. The memory also includes a pending write data structure which is not part of the replacement queue.
