Determining sectors of a track to stage into cache by training a machine learning module

Abstract:

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining sectors of a track to stage into cache by training a machine learning module. A machine learning module that receives as input performance attributes of system components affected by staging tracks from the storage to the cache and outputs a staging strategy comprising one of a plurality of staging strategy indicating at least one of a plurality of sectors of a track to stage into the cache. A margin of error is determined based on a current value of a performance attribute and a threshold of the performance attribute. An adjusted staging strategy is determined based on the margin of error. The machine learning module is retrained with current performance attributes to output the adjusted staging strategy.
