Sample text

This page has a relatively high RC, but its APC shows that it’s rarely used, and thus could be considered as a valid replacement. However, because the RC is so high, it’s worth doing a second APC test on subwindows of the data in order to determine if this texture should really be replaced. This page is at the halfway point. That is, it’s relatively cheap to replace, however its APC says that it will be needed next frame. Replacing this page would be no problem, but due to the high APC, it might be worth the extra search to find another page with a higher RC but lower APC.

In Computer Science, both from Moscow Technological University, where he specialized in instance-based learning methods and graph theory. Enric Vergara Enric Vergara is a computer engineer at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and recently received a master’s degree in Video Games Creation at Pompeu Fabra University. He now works as a C++ programmer for GeoVirtual. Creto Augusto Vidal Creto Augusto Vidal is an associate professor of computer graphics in the Department of Computing at the Federal University of Ceará in Brazil.

In practice, I’ve found that biasing this decision to replace a lower APC when multiple pages return the same value works much better. In fact, that’s why the Age metric is used. By analyzing the usage pattern, along with cost, you can see that although a page is more expensive, it is used less often, and thus has a lower probability of being incorrectly thrashed. In these situations, it’s a good idea to re-scan the cache to find a page with a higher ThrashCost, but with a lower APC value. If one isn’t found, it’s safe to assume that this page may need to be replaced for the sake of the cache.
