It is based on the +// LRU implementation in groupcache: +// https://github.com/golang/groupcache/tree/master/lru +// +// TwoQueueCache tracks frequently used and recently used entries separately. +// This avoids a burst of accesses from taking out frequently used entries, +// at the cost of about 2x computational overhead and some extra bookkeeping. +// +// ARCCache is an adaptive replacement cache. It tracks recent evictions as +// well as recent usage in both the frequent and recent caches. Its +// computational overhead is comparable to TwoQueueCache, but the memory +// overhead is linear with the size of the cache. +// +// ARC has been patented by IBM, so do not use it if that is problematic for +// your program. +// +// All caches in this package take locks while operating, and are therefore +// thread-safe for consumers. +package lru |
