Broadcast Disks: Data Management for Asymmetric Communication Environments

Summary: Proposes Broadcast Disks: multispeed disks on a single broadcast channel to build a fine-grained memory hierarchy for asymmetric networks. Reevaluates cache policies for broadcast hierarchies; offers approximations, supported by simulations on skewed data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
