Ah nice, a "Power of 2 (random) choices" strategy. Article credits "The power of two choices in randomized load balancing" (1996) by Michael Mitzenmacher. PDF link: https://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~michaelm/postscripts/mythesis.... I heard about someone using PO2C for cache eviction recently. Maybe Oxide talking about their storage work? Seems obviously smart. No need to keep LRU or carefully track & decide, just use statistics to compare two random elements and drop the least used one. |
