Abstract

All previous work on integrated prefetching/caching assumes that memory reference strings consist of read requests only. In this paper we present the first study of integrated prefetching/caching with both read and write requests. For single disk systems we analyze popular algorithms such as Conservative and Aggressive and give tight bounds on their approximation ratios. We also develop a new algorithm that performs better than Conservative and Aggressive. For parallel disk systems we present a general technique to construct feasible schedules. The technique achieves a load balancing among the disks. Finally we show that it is NP-complete to decide if an input can be served with f fetch and w write operations, even in the single disk setting.
