    Patent number: 5584015
    Abstract: A buffer memory management method for a buffer memory consisting of a set (14) of buffers (15), using a list of buffers arranged by order of least recent use (LRU). The method comprises, when a buffer (15) is referenced, classifying the buffer according to its position (p) relative to a threshold list position (t). The threshold position is advantageously defined according to the current buffer access hit rate. The method is suitable for operating the buffer memory with concurrent local and non-local processing.
