Linking Cache Performance to User Behaviour
The performance of HTTP cache servers varies dramatically from server to server. Much of the variation is independent of cache size and network topology and thus appears to be rel...

File popularity characterisation
A key determinant of the effectiveness of a web cache is the locality of the files requested. In the past this has been difficult to model, as locality appears to be cache specifi...

Optimal Worst Case Formulas Comparing Cache Memory Associativity
ct Consider an arbitrary program P which is to be executed on a computer with two alternative cache memories. The rst cache has k sets and u blocks in each set, this is denoted a ...

Compiler Generated Multithreading to Alleviate Memory Latency
: Since the era of vector and pipelined computing, the computational speed is limited by the memory access time. Faster caches and more cache levels are used to bridge the growing ...

Page-Level Behavior of Cache Contention
Cache misses in small, limited-associativity primary caches very often replace live cache blocks, given the dominance of capacity and conflict misses. Towards motivating novel cach...

Online Companion Caching
This paper is concerned with online caching algorithms for the (n, k)-companion cache, defined by Brehob et. al. [3]. In this model the cache is composed of two components: a k-way...

Counter-Based Cache Replacement and Bypassing Algorithms
Recent studies have shown that, in highly associative caches, the performance gap between the Least Recently Used (LRU) and the theoretical optimal replacement algorithms is large,...
