Specific aspects of cache memories that are investigated include: the cache fetch algorithm
(demand versus prefetch), the placement and replacement algorithms, line size, store …

In a path-breaking paper last year Pat and Betty O'Neil and Gerhard Weikum proposed a self-
tuning improvement to the Least Recently Used (LRU) bu er management algorithm 15] …

Hardware prefetching is an important feature of modern high-performance processors.
When the application working set is too large to fit in on-chip caches, disabling hardware pre …

In this paper, we present aggressive, proactive mechanisms that tailor file system resource
management to the needs of l/O-intensive applications. In particular, we show how to use …

This paper reports our research results that improve second level buffer cache performance.
Several previous studies have shown that a good single level cache replacement algorithm …

Caching is an indispensable technique for low-cost and fast data serving. The eviction
algorithm, at the heart of a cache, has been primarily designed to maximize efficiency …
