Identifying and relocating hot data to a cache determined with read velocity based on a threshold stored at a storage device

Abstract:

Reads of data stored at the solid-state storage device are monitored. A set of data stored at the solid-state storage device is marked based on the monitoring of the reads of the data. A read request is received for a subset of data of the set of data stored at the storage device. In response to receiving the read request for the subset of data, the subset of data is relocated to a cache memory of the solid-state storage device.
