Alternative to Write Mode Time Delay
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2019 5:39 pm
I have been using PrimoCache for years! Love it! There could not be a more perfect approach to the solution it seeks to solve. I would call myself an expert the use of this software.
I have a suggestion for a future release. As it is now it seems that the program write mode is on a cycle e.g. if you set 15 seconds it flushes every 15 seconds. I think you should include a feature where the flush delay is relative to the write request meaning that if you have 15 seconds set then when a write is done then the program waits 15 seconds to flush. This way it truly waits 15 seconds to flush the cache. Sometimes if you do a big write and it so happens to be doing a flush during that big write, it seems to slow just a tiny fraction since the L2 is doing a read and a write. The performance would be better if no other flushing was being done while the current write operation is not interfered with by another previous write.
Thank you.
