RECminThrash: Recency and Eviction Count Based Cache Replacement Policy to Minimize Thrashing at the Last Level Caches

In this paper, we have proposed a new cache replacement policy called RECminThrash for the last level cache that takes both temporal locality and thrashing factors into account in order to improve cache performance. In particular, our proposed policy RECminThrash compares the eviction counts of a few less recently accessed blocks and selects the one that has the lowest eviction count to reduce thrashing in the cache.
