Data placement in write cache architecture supporting read heat data separation

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: determining a current read heat value of each logical page which corresponds to write requests that have accumulated in a destage buffer. Each of the write requests is assigned to a respective write queue based on the current read heat value of each logical page which corresponds to the write requests. Moreover, each of the write queues correspond to a different page stripe which includes physical pages, the physical pages included in each of the respective page stripes being of a same type. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional approaches.
