Dynamic addressing for variable track length cache memory.

摘要

A data storage system includes a host computer (10) and magnetic disk units (26) of diverse types. A solid state cache memory (30) stores data records at addresses which are generated by a microprocessor (40) in the cache manager (32). These addresses include a beginning of track address and an end of track address which span a frame having enough memory locations to store an entire track for a particular type of disk unit (26).
