Zusammenfassung:A method and controller for implementing storage adapter enhanced write cache management, and a design structure on which the subject controller circuit resides are provided. The controller includes a hardware write cache engine implementing hardware acceleration for storage write cache management. The hardware write cache engine performs hardware manipulation of CLs (Cache Lines), a hash table, and per array LRU queues.
