Abstract
Techniques for cache management involve: determining respective elimination scores of a plurality of entries in a cache based at least in part on compression rates of data blocks corresponding to the plurality of entries, the elimination score being proportional to the compression rate; and removing, from the cache, at least one entry with a relatively low elimination score among the plurality of entries. Such techniques are able to optimize the retention and elimination strategies for entries in a cache, thus increasing payoffs for using the cache.
