Read original comment ↗> it seemed natural to have a set of generations for items that have only been seen once, and then another generation for things that have been more active Have you looked at ARC? It sounds similar - it is a cache split between LRU and MFU areas, where the split point changes dynamically depending on the workload. [VIDEO] is a fun watch on the topic.
Read original comment ↗The author calls ARC autotuning “opaque” which surprised me given a well regarded paper has been published on it: [LINK] [VIDEO] ...that said the author has been writing on the ARC for more than 10 years judging from his blog links so perhaps that paper did not answer his questions.
