KORA: a new cache replacement scheme

In this paper, we present a new neural network based cache replacement algorithm called KORA (Khalid Obaidat Replacement Algorithm). The proposed algorithm uses neural network(s) as a kind of directory in order to identify and distinguish between active and inactive cache lines. Such a classification helps to guide the line replacement decisions. This allows our algorithm to provide better cache performance as compared to the conventional LRU (Least Recently Used), MRU (Most Recently Used), and FIFO (First In First Out) replacement policies (Khalid H, Obaidat MS. A novel cache memory controller: algorithm and simulation, Proceedings of the Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC ’95), Canada, July, 1995. p. 767–772; Khalid H, Obaidat MS. Near-optimal cache replacement policy for high performance computer systems, revised version. IEEE Transactions On Computers, 1997 (submitted for publication); Khalid H, Obaidat MS. High performance cache memory replacement schemes. Proceedings of the 1995 IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems, December, 1995, p. 1–7). Extensive trace-driven simulations were performed for a wide variety of cache configurations using different SPEC92 (Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation) benchmark programs. Simulation results illustrate that KORA can provide substantial improvement in the miss ratio over the conventional algorithms. Our work opens a new dimension for research in the development of new and improved page replacement schemes for virtual memory systems and disk caches.

Future trends in simulators for process dynamics

Editorial note: The SCS Technical Committee on Simulators was authorized in January 1981 by action of the SCS Board of Directors. One of the committee's first major activities was to support the 1982 Summer Computer Simulation Conference by organizing sessions for the Training and Research Simulators Group. Much of the credit for a successful 1982 program presented by that group goes to group director William Wade and to the session organizers: Bruce Fairchild, Process Simulators; Jordan Chou, Power Plant Simulators; Mitchell Sisle, Missile Simulators; Max Carpenter, Maritime Simulators; Carmine Vaccarino, Flight Simula tors ; George Marr, Simulator Technology. Plans are underway to organize sessions for the Training and Research Simulators Group at the 1983 SCSC. Suggestions for additional topic areas are welcome.

Conference Report: 1978 Summer Computer Simulation Conference

Simulation is a tool that is being used to extend the limits of the human mind in more and more professions. The expanding range of difficult icult problems to which it is ingow be- applied is suggested by the Table 1 classification of papers presented at the 1978 Summer Computer Simulation Conference, held June 24-26 in Newport Beach, California. Even so, the entire range is not fully represented by the summer conference because it focuses on the simulation of continuous processes. The Winter Simulation Conference, which is also sponsored by the Society for- Computer Simulation, emphasizess- discrete processes.

Computer simulation call for papers

The 1978 Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC) will be held at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel, California, July 24–26, 1978. The conference is sponsored by the Society for Computer Simulation (Simulation Councils, Inc.), Instrument Society of America, American Meteorological Society, and SHARE (IBM Users Group). With ‘Simulation Today’ as its theme, it will deal with such topical areas as energy, managerial and social sciences, biological systems, environmental sciences, physical sciences, and simulation methodology.

The four ages of technology

The theme of the 1972 Summer Computer Simulation Conference, Advancement Through Simulation , was chosen to emphasize the usefulness of the art of simulation in an ever-expanding range of application areas. The primary role of such a conference is to serve as a platform for the presentation of new ideas and developments in the simulation field and to push back and redefine the frontiers of our knowledge and abilities.
