Abstract

Systems supporting multiple buffer replacement policies have been introduced to satisfy various file access patterns of applications. With this kind of systems, application can choose its buffer replacement policy according to its file access pattern. Files can be shared among several applications using different buffer replacement policies. Replacing a shared block by one policy can effect performance of other applications. We introduce GAT, a cooperative buffer replacement policy to solve the problem of interference among policies. GAT has been implemented in Linux kernel and tested. We can get up to 14.0% higher hit ratio and 74% shorter completion time compared with Without-GAT.
