Editing Cache (computing) (section)

=====Time aware least recently used=====
The time aware least recently used (TLRU) is a variant of LRU designed for the situation where the stored contents in cache have a valid lifetime. The algorithm is suitable in network cache applications, such as ICN, [[content delivery network]]s (CDNs) and distributed networks in general. TLRU introduces a new term: time to use (TTU). TTU is a time stamp on content which stipulates the usability time for the content based on the locality of the content and information from the content publisher. Owing to this locality-based time stamp, TTU provides more control to the local administrator to regulate in-network storage.

In the TLRU algorithm, when a piece of content arrives, a cache node calculates the local TTU value based on the TTU value assigned by the content publisher. The local TTU value is calculated by using a locally-defined function. Once the local TTU value is calculated the replacement of content is performed on a subset of the total content stored in cache node. The TLRU ensures that less popular and short-lived content should be replaced with incoming content.<ref>{{cite conference|last1=Bilal|first1=Muhammad|first2=Shin-Gak|last2=Kang|conference=16th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technology|title=Time Aware Least Recent Used (TLRU) cache management policy in ICN|year=2014|pages=528–532|doi=10.1109/ICACT.2014.6779016|arxiv=1801.00390|bibcode=2018arXiv180100390B|isbn=978-89-968650-3-2|s2cid=830503}}</ref>
