This paper presents a novel hybrid segmented policy that reduces capacity requirements while keeping processing costs low and shows that dynamically adjusting the segment ratio in segmented policies based on historical workload patterns enhances efficiency.

Abstract

While traditional cache policy evaluations fix capacity - often at 0.1% of the dataset - and measure the resulting hit rate, practical edge-cloud deployments require balancing both storage and computational overhead as billed resources. Consequently, system operators frequently focus on a different objective: determining the minimum cache size needed to satisfy a specific Service-Level Objective (SLO) hit-rate. This paper explores this SLO-centric paradigm by analyzing the minimum capacity and execution time each policy requires to hit a defined target. Additionally, we show that dynamically adjusting the segment ratio in segmented policies based on historical workload patterns enhances efficiency. Through evaluations across real-world and synthetic traces, we present a novel hybrid segmented policy that reduces capacity requirements while keeping processing costs low.
