Predictive Load Control for Flexible Buffer Allocation

Summary: Adaptive, load-aware buffer allocation using runtime workload signals and a simple queuing model to replace precalculated parameters. Predictors estimate whether allocation improves performance, yielding consistent gains over existing algorithms in simulation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
