Performance of caching algorithms not only determines the quality of experience for users,
but also affects the operating and capital expenditures for cloud service providers. Today's …

New memory technologies are blurring the previously distinctive performance characteristics
of adjacent layers in the memory hierarchy. No longer are such layers orders of magnitude …

Data center applications consume the majority of today's compute cycles. As current
computer systems---computer architecture, compilers, and operating systems---are …

This thesis presents a database buffer caching policy that uses information about long-
running scans to estimate future accesses. These estimates are used to approximate the …

Modern computers heavily rely on caches as one of the means to achieve higher
performance. As a result, cache management has been the topic of extensive research …

Today's distributed systems invest significant computational and storage resources to
accommodate their large scale of data, but more resources do not automatically improve …

In the era of big data, fast data retrieval has become an absolute necessity, which in turn has
resulted in an increasing prevalence of caching systems. Although extensive studies have …
