An efficient cache invalidation method in mobile client/server environment

초록

In mobile computing environments, cache invalidation techiniques are widely used. However, theses techniques require a large-sized invalidation report and show low cache utilization under high server update rate. In this paper, we propose a new cache-level cache invalidation technique called TTCI (Timestamp Tree-based Cache Invalidation technique) to overcome the above two problems. TTCI also supports selective tuning for a cache-level cache invalidation. We show in our experiment that our technique requires much smaller size of cache invalidation report and improves cache utilization.
