  • Dynamically tuning the size of a cache stored in a shared memory
    Patent number: 8788783
    Abstract: A system and method configured to dynamically tune the size of a cache stored in a shared memory minimizes the amount of the shared memory consumed by the cache while achieving a desired cache hit ratio. A maximum size of the cache is computed based on a slope, the current cache size, a target hit ratio, and a current hit ratio. The maximum size is then used to dynamically adjust the size of the cache, decreasing or increasing the size based on the computed maximum size.
