WritePolicyBench: Benchmarking Memory Write Policies under Byte Budgets

Abstract

We introduce WritePolicyBench, a benchmark for evaluating memory write policies: decision rules that choose what to store, merge, and evict under a strict byte budget while processing a stream with document/API drift. The benchmark provides (i) task generators with controlled non-stationarity, (ii) an explicit action interface for external memory, (iii) a byte-accurate cost model, and (iv) standardized metrics that measure both task success and budget efficiency.
