We propose a system aimed at achieving high energy-delay efficiency by using adaptive victim caches. Particularly, we investigate methods to improve the hit rates in the first level of memory hierarchy, which reduces the number of accesses to mort power consuming memory structures such as L2 cache. Victim cache is a memory element for reducing conflict misses in a direct-mapped L1 cache. We present two techniques to fill the victim cache with the blocks that have higher probability to be re-reqeusted by processor. Hit-based victim cache ks tilled with the blocks which were referenced frequently by processor. Replacement-based victim cache is filled with the blocks which were evicted from the sets where block replacements had happened frequently According to our simulations, replacement-based victim cache scheme outperforms the conventional victim cache scheme about $2\%$ on average and refutes the power consumption by up to $8\%$.

Content Centric Network (CCN) is a network that emerged to improve the existing network structure and communicates based on content names instead of addresses. It utilises caches to distribute traffic and reduce response time by delivering content from intermediate nodes. In this paper, we propose a popularity-based caching policy to efficiently utilise the limited CS space in CCN environment. The performance of CCNs can vary significantly depending on which content is prioritised to be stored and released. To achieve the most efficient cache replacement, we propose a real-time content popularity-based efficient cache replacement policy that calculates and prioritises content popularity based on constructor popularity, constructor distance, and content hits, and demonstrate the effectiveness of the new policy through experiments.

Content-Centric Networking (CCN) is a new Internet architecture with routing and caching centered on contents. Through its receiver-driven and connectionless communication model, CCN natively supports the seamless mobility of nodes and scalable content acquisition. In-network caching is one of the core technologies in CCN, and the research of efficient caching scheme becomes increasingly attractive. To address the problem of unbalanced cache load distribution in some existing caching strategies, this paper presents a neighbor cooperation based in-network caching scheme. In this scheme, the node with the highest betweenness centrality in the content delivery path is selected as the central caching node and the area of its ego network is selected as the caching area. When the caching node has no sufficient resource, part of its cached contents will be picked out and transferred to the appropriate neighbor by comprehensively considering the factors, such as available node cache, cache replacement rate and link stability between nodes. Simulation results show that our scheme can effectively enhance the utilization of cache resources and improve cache hit rate and average access cost.

Many web cache systems and policies concerning them have been proposed. These studies, however, consider large objects less useful than small objects in terms of performance, and evict them as soon as possible. Even if this approach increases the hit rate, the byte hit rate decreases and the connections occurring over congested links to outside networks waste more bandwidth in obtaining large objects. This paper puts forth a client-cluster approach for improving the web cache system. The client-cluster is composed of the residual resources of clients and utilizes them as exclusive storage for large objects. This proposed system achieves not only a high hit rate but also a high byte hit rate, while reducing outgoing traffic. The distributed hash table (DHT) based peer-to-peer lookup protocol is utilized to manage the client-cluster. With the natural characteristics of this protocol, the proposed system with the client-cluster is self-organizing, fault-tolerant, well-balanced, and scalable. Additionally, the large objects are managed with an index based allocation method, which balances the loads of all clients well. The performance of the cache system is examined via a trace driven simulation and an effective enhancement of the proxy cache performance is demonstrated.

CCN, which has emerged to overcome the limitations of existing network structures, enables efficient networking by changing the IP Address-based network method to the Content-based network method. At this time, the contents are stored on each node(router) rather than on the top server, and considering the limitation of storage capacity, it is very important to determine which contents to store and release through the cache policy, and there are several cache policies that have been studied so far. In this paper, two of the existing cache policies, producer popularity-based and distance-based, were mixed. In addition, the mixing ratio was set differently to experiment, and we proved which experiement was the most efficient one.

Location-Based Services (LBSs) provide results to queries according to the location of the client issuing the query. In LBS, techniques such as caching and prefetching are effective approaches to reducing the data transmission from a server and query response time. However, they can lead to cache inefficiency and network overload due to the client's mobility and query pattern. To solve these drawbacks, we propose a semantic prefetching (SP) scheme using prefetching segment concept and improved cache replacement policies. When a mobile client enters a new service area, called semantic prefetching area, proposed scheme fetches the necessary semantic information from the server in advance. The mobile client maintains the information in its own cache for query processing of location-dependent data (LDD) in mobile computing environment. The performance of the proposed scheme is investigated in relation to various environmental variables, such as the mobility and query pattern of user, the distributions of LDDs and applied cache replacement strategies. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is more efficient than the well-known existing scheme for range query and nearest neighbor query. In addition, applying the two queries dynamically to query processing improves the performance of the proposed scheme.

Solid state drive (SSD) cache technologies that are used as a second-tier cache between the main memory and hard disk drive (HDD) have been widely studied. The SSD cache requires a new prefetching scheme as well as cache replacement algorithms. This paper presents a prefetching scheme for a storage-class cache using SSD. This prefetching scheme is designed for the storage-class cache and based on a long-term scheduling in contrast to the short-term prefetching in the main memory. Traditional prefetching algorithms just consider only read, but the presented prefetching scheme considers both read and write. An experimental evaluation shows 2.3% to 17.8% of hit rate with a 64GB of SSD and the 4GiB of prefetching size using an I/O trace of 14 days. The proposed prefetching scheme showed significant improvement of cache hit rate and can be easily implemented in storage-class cache systems.

Caching mechanisms have been studied extensively to buffer the speed gap of hierarchical storages in the context of cache memory, paging system, and buffer management system. As the wide-area distributed environments such as the WWW extend broadly, caching of remote objects becomes more and more important. In the wide-area distributed environments, the cost and the benefit of caching an object is not uniform due to the location of the object; which should be considered in the cache replacement algorithms. For online operation, the time complexity of the replacement algorithm should not be excessive. To date, most replacement algorithms for the wide-area distributed environments do not meet both the non-uniformity of objects and the time complexity constraint. This paper proposes a replacement algorithm which considers the non-uniformity of objects properly; it also allows for an efficient implementation. Trace-driven simulations show that proposed algorithm outperforms existing replacement algorithms.

전통적일 파일 캐쉬나 가상 메모리 시스템과 웹 캐쉬는 다르다. 웹 캐쉬는 WWW상에서 작게는 수백 바이트에서 크게는 수십 메가바이트에 이르는 다양한 크기의 개체를 다루어야 한다. 다양한 크기의 개체를 다루는데 따른 문제점은 캐쉬 성능을 판단하는 매트릭스가 단순한 hit rate가 아니라는 것이다. 기본적인 웹 캐쉬의 성능 매트릭스로는 HR(cache hit rate)와 BHR(byte cache hit rate)가 있으며, 기존에 제시된 캐쉬 정책들은 두 가지 중 하나만을 만족하거나 아니면 어느 것도 만족하지 않는 경우가 대부분이다. 트레이스 드리븐 방식을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통하여, 기존에 우수성이 입증된 캐쉬 대체 정책과 우리가 제시한 TYPE 대체 정책을 HR과 BHR을 기준으로 비교한다. 우리가 제시한, 파일 타입에 대해 동적으로 할당된 캐쉬 공간을 갖는 캐쉬 대체기법은 각각의 두 성능 매트릭스에 대해서 골고루 우수한 성능을 보였다.

A new buffer cache management scheme that aims at reducing power consumption in mixed HDD and NAND flash memory storage systems is presented. The proposed scheme reduces power consumption by considering different energy-consumption rate of storage devices, I/O operation type (read or write), and reference potential of cached blocks in terms of both recency and frequency. Simulation shows that the proposed scheme reduces power consumption by 18.0% on average and up to 58.9%.
