W e consider a cache shared by several concurrently running application processes and propose a provably efficient application-controlled global strategy for the shared cache. Using future information implicitly in the form of good decisions by application processes, we are able to break through the Hk lower bound on competitive ratio proved for classical paging for a k-sized cache in [FKL+91]....
