Sieve: Cache eviction can be simple, effective, and scalable


g bolsters the performance of virtually every computer system today by speeding up data access and reducing data movement. By storing frequently accessed objects on a small but comparatively fast storage device, future requests for that cached data can be processed rapidly.

By storing frequently accessed objects on a small but comparatively fast storage device, future requests for that cached data can be processed rapidly. History suggests the pursuit is unlikely to bear fruit, and a richer trove of data than researchers have previously had available lends us hope. However, when analyzing different traces (even within the same dataset), the miss ratios can vary significantly, making direct comparisons and visualizations infeasible.
