•  Cache algorithms

  In computing, cache algorithms (also frequently called replacement algorithms or replacement policies) are optimizing instructions – algorithms – that a computer program or a hardware-maintained structure can follow to manage a cache of information stored on the computer. When the cache is full, the algorithm must choose which items to discard to make room for the new ones. The "hit rate" of a cache describes how often a searched-for item is actually found in the cache.
