Abstract
A storage system and method of operating the same can speed the operation of cache management functions. Generally, a storage system can include data stored in stripes, with each stripe including a number of blocks. A cache memory can store data blocks for fast access. A method can include providing a ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) with a processor coupled thereto, and tracking a block count for each active stripe with the processor and TCAM. The block count for each active stripe can be the number of data blocks belonging to the same stripe that are stored in the cache memory.
