CACHE MANAGEMENT BASED ON TYPES OF I/O OPERATIONS

Abstract:

A list of a first type of tracks in a cache is generated. A list of a second type of tracks in the cache is generated, wherein I/O operations are completed relatively faster to the first type of tracks than to the second type of tracks. A determination is made as to whether to demote a track from the list of the first type of tracks or from the list of the second type of tracks.
