Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and systems are presented for caching. A cache memory area may be used for storing data from memory locations in an original memory area. The cache memory area may be used in conjunction with a repeatedly updated record of storage associated with the cache memory area. The repeatedly updated record of storage can thus provide a history of data storage associated with the cache memory area. The cache memory area may be loaded with entries previously stored in the cache memory area, by utilizing the repeatedly updated record of storage. In this manner, the record may be used to “warm up” the cache memory area, loading it with data entries that were previously cached and may be likely to be accessed again if repetition of memory accesses exists in the span of history captured by the repeatedly updated record of storage.
