ABSTRACT:
A computer system with mechanisms for exclusive caching that avoids the accumulation of duplicate copies of information in host and storage system caches. A computer system according to these exclusive caching techniques includes a host system having a host cache and a storage system having a storage system cache and functionality for performing demote operations to coordinate the placement of information in the host cache to the storage system caches.
