Operation-Aware Buffer Management in Flash-based Systems

Summary: Proposes FOR, a flash-aware buffer replacement using operation-aware page weights that blend read/write locality with costs. FOR+ delivers O(1) per operation; experiments on synthetic and benchmark traces show it outperforms best-in-class flash policies. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
