SHARED CACHE FOR MULTIPLE INDEX SERVICES IN NONRELATIONAL DATABASES
A computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processing unit, from a first tenant, a query to retrieve data from a nonrelational database system. The method further includes determining, by the processing unit, that an index associated with the query is cached in a shared index cache, wherein the shared index cache stores indexes for a plurality of tenants. The method further includes retrieving, by the processing unit, a result of the query based on the index in the shared index cache. The method further includes outputting, by the processing unit, the result of the query.
Cache architectures with address delay registers for memory devices
Methods, systems, and devices for cache architectures for memory devices are described. For example, a memory device may include a main array having a first set of memory cells, a cache having a second set of memory cells, and a cache delay register configured to store an indication of cache addresses associated with recently performed access operations. In some examples, the cache delay register may be operated as a first-in-first-out (FIFO) register of cache addresses, where a cache address associated with a performed access operation may be added to the beginning of the FIFO register, and a cache address at the end of the FIFO register may be purged. Information associated with access operations on the main array may be maintained in the cache, and accessed directly (e.g., without another accessing of the main array), at least as long as the cache address is present in the cache delay register.

Adaptive caching for hybrid columnar databases with heterogeneous page sizes
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for adaptive caching for hybrid columnar databases with heterogeneous page sizes. An embodiment operates by receiving a request to load a new page of memory from a disk in a buffer cache. The embodiment scans one or more pools comprising one or more pages of the same size in a buffer cache. The embodiment determines an increment of a reuse rate for the pools in the buffer cache within a time interval. The embodiment determines a cumulative reuse rate that is the sum of the increments of the reuse rate over several time intervals. The embodiment determines a gliding average reuse rate of the cumulative reuse rate over several time intervals. The embodiment compares the average reuse rates of the plurality of the pools to a threshold to dynamically determine whether a pool should reuse memory from the existing pages of the same pool or rebalance memory from one or more victim pools.
USING IDLE CACHES AS A BACKING STORE FOR BOOT CODE
The present disclosure may include a processor that uses idle caches as a backing store for a boot code. The processor designates a boot core and an active cache from a plurality of cores and a plurality of caches. The processor configures remaining caches from the plurality of caches to act as a backing store memory. The processor modifies the active cache to convert cast outs to a system memory into lateral cast outs to the backing store memory. The processor copies a boot image to the backing store memory and executes the boot image by the boot core.

Data rebuild when changing erase block sizes during drive replacement
A method for rebuilding data when changing erase block sizes in a storage system is provided. The method includes determining one or more erase blocks to be rebuilt and allocating one or more replacement erase blocks, wherein the one or more erase blocks and the one or more replacement erase blocks have differing erase block sizes. The method includes mapping logical addresses, for the one or more erase blocks, to the one or more replacement erase blocks and rebuilding the one or more erase blocks into the one or more replacement erase blocks, in accordance with the mapping.
PROVIDING AVAILABILITY STATUS ON TRACKS FOR A HOST TO ACCESS FROM A STORAGE CONTROLLER CACHE
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining status of tracks in storage cached in a cache for a host. A storage controller receives from the host a list of tracks for the host to access and determines whether the tracks in the list are available in the cache for immediate access. A response is returned to the host indicating the tracks as one of available in the cache for immediate access and not available in the cache for immediate access.
