On the study of block replacement policy using LFR

LFR기법을 이용한 블럭교체 기법에 관한 연구

Most popular disk block replacement polices are LRU(Least Recently Used)policy and LFU(Least Frequently Used)policy. The LRU policy replaces blocks according to the most recent reference without considering the frequency of reference. The LFU policy replaces blocks according to the frequency of reference without considering the recently of the reference. In this thesis, a policy called LFR(least Frequently Use & Not Used Recently) disk block replacement policy is presented. The LFR policy subsumes the LFU policy and the NUR policy. The spectrum of the LFR policy exists between the LFU policy and the NUR policy because we co give different weight to each reference of a block. The implementation shows LFR policy outperforms the previously implemente LRU policy.
