Write-Aware Timestamp Tracking: Effective and Efficient Page Replacement for Modern Hardware
Summary: Introduce Write-Aware Timestamp Tracking (WATT): a page-replacement algorithm that records per-page access timestamps and explicitly trades read vs write I/O to optimize eviction for modern hardware. Co-designed for multi-core CPUs with very low overhead, WATT achieves state-of-the-art replacement effectiveness and supports write-reduction strategies to prolong SSD lifetime.
