Data Source and Methodology

All calculations are based on the article "Cache Strategies" by Mmoshikoo. Read more here. All calculations rely on the formulas and data provided by this source.

The Formula Explained

Cache Hit Rate: \( \text{Hit Rate} = \frac{\text{Cache Hits}}{\text{Total Requests}} \)

Glossary of Terms

Cache Size: The amount of memory allocated for storing cached data.
Request Rate: The frequency of requests to the cache.
Cache Hit Rate: The proportion of requests that are served from the cache.

How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example

For example, with a cache size of 100MB and a request rate of 1500 req/sec, the optimal cache strategy can be calculated to maximize performance.
