Professor Zhenlin Wang received an NSF research award with a total budget of $375,000.
This is a 3-year project with a title of “CSR:Small: Effective Sampling-Based Miss Ratio Curves: Theory and Practice”. In this project, Zhenlin and his students will use miss ratio curves (MRCs), which relate cache miss ratio to cache size, to model working set and cache locality.
The project develops a new cache locality theory to construct MRCs effectively and then applies it to several caching or memory management systems.
