The speed gap between data processing in CPU and data accessing in disks has reached to an intolerable level, and will only become worse as time goes by. This bottleneck has seriously hindered the development of large scale computing systems for data-intensive applications that demand fast accesses to a huge amount of data. Viable and costeffective solutions to address this problem are to build large memory buffers to cache data for reuse by taking advantage of low price and large capacity of
