Description
We analyze quantitatively several strategies for better utilization of the {\em cache} or the {\em {fast access}} memory in computers. We define a performance factor $α$ that denotes the fraction of the cache area utilized when the main memory is accessed at random. We calculate $α$ exactly for different competing strategies, including the hash-rehash and the skewed-associative strategies which were earlier analyzed via simulations.
