Determining an amount of data of a track to stage into cache using a machine learning module

Abstract:

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining sectors of a track to stage into cache using a machine learning module. Performance attributes of system components affected by staging tracks from the storage to the cache are provided to a machine learning module. An output is received, from the machine learning module having processed the provided performance attributes, indicating a staging strategy indicating sectors of a track to stage into the cache comprising one of a plurality of staging strategies. Sectors of an accessed track that is not in the cache are staged into the cache according to the staging strategy indicated in the output.
