I/O HOTSPOT DETECTION USING EXPONENTIAL MOVING AVERAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18355140 titled 'I/O HOTSPOT DETECTION USING EXPONENTIAL MOVING AVERAGE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a computer implemented method that involves accessing data stored in the memory of a computer system. The memory consists of a faster access storage medium and a slower access storage medium. The method includes determining exponential moving averages of access operations performed on memory locations and transferring portions of the data into the respective storage mediums based on these averages.
- The method involves accessing data stored in the memory of a computer system.
- The memory consists of a faster access storage medium and a slower access storage medium.
- Exponential moving averages of access operations performed on memory locations are determined.
- Portions of the data are transferred into the faster access storage medium.
- Portions of the data are transferred into the slower access storage medium.
- The transfers are based on the determined exponential moving averages.
Original Abstract Submitted
A computer implemented method comprises accessing data stored in memory of the computer system, wherein the memory includes a faster access storage medium and a slower access storage medium; determining respective exponential moving averages of a number of access operations performed on respective memory locations of the memory; and transferring a portion of the data into the faster access storage medium and transferring a portion of the data into the slower access storage medium according to the determined exponential moving average.
