Abstract

This paper is concerned with online caching algorithms for the (n, k)-companion cache, defined by Brehob et al. (J. Scheduling 6 (2003) 149). In this model the cache is composed of two components: a k-way set-associative cache and a companion fully associative cache of size n. We show that the deterministic competitive ratio for this problem is (n + 1)(k + 1) - 1, and the randomized competitive ratio is O(log n log k) and Ω(log n + log k).
