Abstract

The streaming cache placement problem (SCPP) is considered. The SCPP is known to be NP-hard and MAX SNP-hard. It is shown that for the SCPP there is no approximation algorithm with a guarantee better than log k unless NP can be solved in sub-exponential time. Construction algorithms for the SCPP, based on two general techniques, are proposed. The results of computational experiments based on these two algorithms and their modifications are reported.
