The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A method, storage system and non-transitory computer readable medium. The method may include receiving or generating, and for each storage entity out of multiple storage entities of the storage system, a storage entity distribution of cache hits over a caching period related to cached data associated with the storage entity and determining an allocation of quotas of the cache space to the multiple storage entities. The determining may include: (a) for each storage entity, determining a hit score indicative of a number of cache hits per a caching sub-period of the caching period related to the storage entity, (b) simulating, in an iterative manner, an allocation of quotas of the cache space to the storage entities that substantially maximizes the number of cache hits, and (c) allocating quotas of the cache space to the storage entities of the multiple storage entities, based on an outcome of the simulation.”

The patent application was filed on July 1, 2019 (16/458,215).
