Abstract: Belady's algorithm is optimal but infeasible because it requires knowledge of the future. This paper explains how a cache replacement algorithm can nonetheless learn from Belady's algorithm ...

Abstract: Belady’s algorithm is widely known as an optimal cache replacement policy. It has been the foundation of numerous recent studies on cache replacement policies, and most studies assume this ...

Solid-state drives (SSDS) have revolutionized the world of non-volatile storage over the past decade. Indeed, SSDs have found their way into every nook and cranny of computing—from cell phones to ...

With the ever-growing performance gap between memory systems and disks, and rapidly improving CPU performance, virtual memory (VM) management becomes increasingly important for overall system ...

REDMOND, Wash. — April 19, 2011 — Christian Belady has spent his career studying and designing server products and their environments. Over the past decade he has watched the physical footprint of ...

Locality of reference is one of the cornerstones of computer science. It was born from efforts to make virtual memory systems work well. Virtual memory was first developed in 1959 on the Atlas System ...
