Rarely do users watch online contents entirely. We study how to take this into account to improve the performance of cache systems for video-on-demand and video-sharing platforms in terms of traffic reduction on the core network. We exploit…
This work presents, to the best of our knowledge of the literature, the first analytic model to address the performance of an LRU (Least Recently Used) implementing cache under non-stationary traffic conditions, i.e., when the popularity of…

Similarity caching allows requests for an item to be served by a similar item. Applications include recommendation systems, multimedia retrieval, and machine learning. Recently, many similarity caching policies have been proposed, like…
Modern processors use cache memory: a memory access that "hits" the cache returns early, while a "miss" takes more time. Given a memory access in a program, cache analysis consists in deciding whether this access is always a hit, always a…
Several real-time delay-sensitive applications pose varying degrees of freshness demands on the requested content. The performance of cache replacement policies that are agnostic to these demands is likely to be sub-optimal. Motivated by…

For applications in worst-case execution time analysis and in security, it is desirable to statically classify memory accesses into those that result in cache hits, and those that result in cache misses. Among cache replacement policies,…
In this paper we analyze Least Recently Used (LRU) caches operating under the Shot Noise requests Model (SNM). The SNM was recently proposed to better capture the main characteristics of today Video on Demand (VoD) traffic. We investigate…
In this work a novel family of decentralised caching policies for wireless networks is introduced, referred to as spatial multi-LRU. These improve cache-hit probability by exploiting multi-coverage. Two variations are proposed, the…
The modeling and analysis of an LRU cache is extremely challenging as exact results for the main performance metrics (e.g. hit rate) are either lacking or cannot be used because of their high computational complexity for large caches. As a…
The aim of the paper is to evaluate the miss probability of a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache, when it is offered a non-stationary request process given by a Poisson cluster point process. First, we construct a probability space using Palm…
We propose a unified methodology to analyse the performance of caches (both isolated and interconnected), by extending and generalizing a decoupling technique originally known as Che's approximation, which provides very accurate results at…
Caching plays a crucial role in networking systems to reduce the load on the network and is commonly employed by content delivery networks (CDNs) in order to improve performance. One of the commonly used mechanisms, Least Recently Used…
Typical analysis of content caching algorithms using the metric of steady state hit probability under a stationary request process does not account for performance loss under a variable request arrival process. In this work, we consider…
The Internet heavily relies on Content Distribution Networks and transparent caches to cope with the ever-increasing traffic demand of users. Content, however, is essentially versatile: once published at a given time, its popularity…
In modern GPU inference, cache efficiency remains a major bottleneck, and heuristic policies such as \textsc{LRU} can perform far worse than the offline optimum. Existing learning-based caching systems improve hit rates mainly through…

The overall performance of content distribution networks as well as recently proposed information-centric networks rely on both memory and bandwidth capacities. In this framework, the hit ratio is the key performance indicator which…
