| | Buffer Management (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | Representative cases and applications include on-chip and off-chip caches, virtual memory, buffer caches for I/O data, disk caches, proxy caches, file systems, databases, and many others. |
 | | A critical component in caching management is its replacement algorithms to fully utilize the limited cache space by effectively exploiting the data locality. |
 | | We have also looked into the issues of effectively managing the data replacement in Window systems, in disk caching in data grid, and in multi-level caching in distributed systems. |
