Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new destage algorithms, called the Dynamic Adaptive Threshold which determines turn-on and turn-off thresholds dynamically depending on the current write cache occupancy level and the differential rate of the host write requests. For performance evaluation, the proposed algorithm is compared with the wellknown High-Low Water Mark (HLWM) algorithm. Performance tests are fulfilled with our cached RAID 5 simulator. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the HLWM algorithm in terms of response time of host reads and write cache hit ratio under various workloads.
