The AMS Cache Layer

Optimal usage of the cache minimizes direct disk accesses, thus reducing unnecessary processing overheads and improving the overall performance of the storage device. To determine whether the cache is effectively utilized or not, take the help of the tests mapped to the AMS Cache layer.

The tests mapped to this layer are discussed in the following topics:

• Cache Load Test
• Cache Memory Usage Test
