Bélády's algorithm is the optimal cache replacement policy, but it requires knowledge of the future to evict lines that will be reused farthest in the future. A number of replacement policies have been proposed which attempt to predict future reuse distances from past access patterns, [23] allowing them to approximate the optimal replacement ...
The theoretically optimal page replacement algorithm (also known as OPT, clairvoyant replacement algorithm, or Bélády's optimal page replacement policy) [3] [4] [2] is an algorithm that works as follows: when a page needs to be swapped in, the operating system swaps out the page whose next use will occur farthest in the future. For example, a ...
For example, Graph (c) is produced after page E is accessed on Graph (a). When there is a miss and a resident page has to be replaced, the resident HIR page at the bottom of Stack Q is selected as the victim for replacement. For example, Graphs (d) and (e) are produced after pages D and C are accessed on Graph (a), respectively.
Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC) is a page replacement algorithm with better performance [1] than LRU (least recently used). This is accomplished by keeping track of both frequently used and recently used pages plus a recent eviction history for both. The algorithm was developed [2] at the IBM Almaden Research Center.
The algorithm works as follows: consider a binary search tree for the items in question. Each node of the tree has a one-bit flag denoting "go left to insert a pseudo-LRU element" or "go right to insert a pseudo-LRU element". To find a pseudo-LRU element, traverse the tree according to the values of the flags.
This phenomenon is commonly experienced when using the first-in first-out page replacement algorithm. In FIFO, the page fault may or may not increase as the page frames increase, but in optimal and stack-based algorithms like LRU, as the page frames increase, the page fault decreases. László Bélády demonstrated this in 1969. [1]
Rewriting systems then do not provide an algorithm for changing one term to another, but a set of possible rule applications. When combined with an appropriate algorithm, however, rewrite systems can be viewed as computer programs, and several theorem provers [3] and declarative programming languages are based on term rewriting. [4] [5]
There are a large number of call-side actions, such as deactivation and truncation, and some ALM actions, such as the discovery of zeros by the page-writing primitive (write_page in page_fault) that cause page-frames to become explicitly free; these actions all aid the replacement algorithm and simplify its task by putting these page frames at ...
