Gareth version:
Gareth: I'm not too familiar with literature on caching algorithms, but it's probably worth exploring these, of at least making clear reference to them, if
you have not done so already. Should we also consider issues related to something
like paging within a cache, or is this moving too quickly at this point.
A picture:
A link: separate test.
Time is a difficult parameter to use, it moves forward linearly so it is possible to make predictions (probably application specific) of when to refresh.
Other contexts, location or a least in one dimension to keep things easy, will generally not change linearly and so there needs to be a mechanism to
refresh the cache as needed. Perhaps we can relate this more closely the virtual memory principle of "locality".
