摘要

A method of implementing a shared cache between a plurality of virtual machines may include maintaining the plurality of virtual machines on one or more physical machines. Each of the plurality of virtual machines may include a private cache. The method may also include determining portions of the private caches that are idle and maintaining a shared cache that comprises the portions of the private caches that are idle. The method may additionally include storing data associated with the plurality of virtual machines in the shared cache and load balancing use of the shared cache between the plurality of virtual machines.
