Online Companion Caching
Abstract
This paper is concerned with online caching algorithms for the (n,k)-companion cache, defined by Brehob et. al. In this model the cache is composed of two components: a k-way set-associative cache and a companion fully-associative cache of size n. We show that the deterministic competitive ratio for this problem is (n+1)(k+1)-1, and the randomized competitive ratio is O( n k) and ( n + k).
