Abstract: A processor includes a processing core and a cache controller including a read queue and a separate write queue. The read queue is to buffer read requests of the processing core to a non-volatile memory, last level cache (NVM-LLC), and the write queue is to buffer write requests to the NVM-LLC. The cache controller is to detect whether the write queue is full. The cache controller further prioritizes a first order of sending requests to the NVM-LLC when the write queue contains an empty slot, the first order specifying a first pattern of sending the read requests before the write requests, and prioritizes a second order of sending requests to the NVM-LLC in response to a determination that the write queue is full, the second order specifying a second pattern of alternating between sending a write request from the write queue and a read request from the read queue.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements for video delivery preparation. A video, being accessible online, is displayed at an interface in response to a user request. A relative probability of video access by the user with respect to at least two other online-accessible videos is qualitatively determined. An ordered prediction set is created with respect to the other videos. The other videos are prepared incrementally based on the prediction set, so that the user is able to access and view the videos. The preparing includes preparing a first one of the other videos over a first time period and a second one of the other videos over a second time period, wherein at least a portion of the first time period is coincident with at least a portion of the second time period. An element is displayed at the interface which provides a connection to at least one of the other videos.
