Various cache replacement policies are described whose goals are to identify items for eviction from the cache that are not accessed often and to identify items stored in the cache that are regularly accessed that should be maintained longer in the cache. In particular, the cache replacement policies are useful for workloads that have a strong temporal locality, that is, items that are accessed very frequently for a period of time and then quickly decay in terms of further accesses. In one embodiment, a variation on the traditional least recently used caching algorithm uses a reuse period or reuse distance for an accessed item to determine whether the item should be promoted in the cache queue. In one embodiment, a variation on the traditional two queue caching algorithm evicts items from the cache from both an active queue and an inactive queue. |
