Abstract: This thesis has two parts, the first more practical, and the second more theoretical. The first part considers informed prefetching and caching in which an application provides information about its upcoming I/O accesses to the operating system, allowing the system to prefetch data and to make informed cache replacement decisions. I compare existing algorithms for this problem using trace-driven simulation, and use the results to develop a new algorithm that performs better than previous... (Update)

...in that state, the cost is ffi, where ffi can be chosen to be arbitrarily small. A proof of this folklore result is in the appendix of [Tom97] Consider now some ffi elementary task vector, with non zero cost in state i. Say that before processing this task, the algorithm had...
