SS-LRU: a smart segmented LRU caching

Many caching policies use machine learning to predict data reuse, but they ignore the impact of incorrect prediction on cache performance, especially for large-size objects. In this paper, we propose a smart segmented LRU (SS-LRU) replacement policy, which adopts a size-aware classifier designed for cache scenarios and considers the cache cost caused by misprediction. Besides, SS-LRU enhances the migration rules of segmented LRU (SLRU) and implements a smart caching with unequal priorities and segment sizes based on prediction and multiple access patterns. We conducted Extensive experiments under the real-world workloads to demonstrate the superiority of our approach over state-of-the-art caching policies.
