m tively slow and inexpensive source of information and a uch faster consumer of that information. The cache c capacity is relatively small and expensive, but quickly ac essible. The goal is for the cache behavior to dominate e c performance but the large storage facility to dominat osts, thus giving the illusion of a large, fast, inexpensive a s storage system. Successful operation depends both on ubstantial level of locality being exhibited by the consut mer, and careful strategies being chosen for cache opera ion disciplines for replacement of contents, update syn-
