Claim 8:
9. A computer-implemented method for improving cached workload management, the method comprising:
receiving from a host, by a storage system in a system comprising the host and the storage system, information about classes of applications accessing the storage system;
based on the information about the class, dividing, by the storage system, a dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) cache in the storage system into multiple cache partitions, wherein the multiple cache partitions are dedicated to respective ones of the classes;
receiving from the host, by the storage system, input/output queues dedicated to the respective ones of the classes;
directing, by the storage system, the input/output queues to respective ones of the multiple cache partitions of the DRAM cache in the storage system; and
in response to a respective one of the input/output queues is mapped as cache_disabled, bypassing, by the storage system, the multiple cache partitions of the DRAM cache in the storage system of the respective one of the input/output queues.
