    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining server write activity levels to use to adjust write cache size. Server write activity information on server write activity to the cache is gathered. The server write activity information is processed to determine a server write activity level comprising one of multiple write activity levels indicating a level of write activity. The determined server write activity level is transmitted to a storage server having a write cache, wherein the storage server uses the determined server write activity level to determine whether to adjust a size of the storage server write cache.

    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure a method and technique for managing memory access is disclosed. The method includes setting a memory databus utilization threshold for each of a plurality of processors of a data processing system to maintain memory databus utilization of the data processing system at or below a system threshold. The method also includes monitoring memory databus utilization for the plurality of processors and, in response to determining that memory databus utilization for at least one of the processors is below its threshold, reallocating at least a portion of unused databus utilization from the at least one processor to at least one of the other processors.

    Abstract: A storage subsystem combining solid state drive (SSD) and hard disk drive (HDD) technologies provides low access latency and low complexity. Separate free lists are maintained for the SSD and the HDD and blocks of file system data are stored uniquely on either the SSD or the HDD. When a read access is made to the subsystem, if the data is present on the SSD, the data is returned, but if the block is present on the HDD, it is migrated to the SSD and the block on the HDD is returned to the HDD free list. On a write access, if the block is present in the either the SSD or HDD, the block is overwritten, but if the block is not present in the subsystem, the block is written to the HDD.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to operations that include determining that an access request to a computer memory results in a cache miss. In some examples, the operations further include determining an amount of cache resources used to service additional cache misses that occurred within a period prior to the cache miss. Furthermore, in some examples, the operations further include servicing the access request to the computer memory based, at least in part, on the amount of the cache resources used to service the additional cache misses within the period prior to the cache miss.

    Abstract: A job scheduler can select a processor core operating frequency for a node in a cluster to perform a job based on energy usage and performance data. After a job request is received, an energy aware job scheduler accesses data that specifies energy usage and job performance metrics that correspond to the requested job and a plurality of processor core operating frequencies. A first of the plurality of processor core operating frequencies is selected that satisfies an energy usage criterion for performing the job based, at least in part, on the data that specifies energy usage and job performance metrics that correspond to the job. The job is assigned to be performed by a node in the cluster at the selected first of the plurality of processor core operating frequencies.
