The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A computer directs activity within a computer storage subsystem. The computer identifies a computer operating environment including a computer, and a storage subsystem connected to a group of storage devices. The compute receives metadata representing current and historic performance metrics of said computer operating environment. The computer identifies a first device associated with a first behavior profile governed by a power law distribution, and a second device associated with a second behavior profile governed by a normal distribution. The computer trains Machine Learning (ML) models based on the behavior profiles. The computer establishes Device Performance Rules based on the ML models. The computer forecasts time-based storage system requirements based, at least in part on the Device Performance Rules. The computer prefetches data to a cache component based, at least in part on said forecasted system requirements, in accordance with a time reference available to said computer.”

The patent application was filed on March 30, 2021 (17/301,290).
