💖 NAME 💖

Cache::Ref::GCLOCK — bestie, it's the GCLOCK cache replacement algorithm, and yes she's that girl 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

my $c = Cache::Ref::GCLOCK->new(
    size => $n,
);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk: this algorithm is literally cousins with Cache::Ref::CLOCK 🌸 but here's the plot twist — instead of starting every single cache hit from "k", a counter gets bumped up on every hit. every. single. one. 🔥

and what does that give you? it's giving LFU expiry policy energy — like, least-frequently-used behavior, periodt 👑 — except without having to drag the entire keyspace into it. so it's the vibe of LFU but not the whole dramatic production. iykyk 💜

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

  • size — the size of the live entries. that's the whole thing. the size. of the live entries. she said what she said 💖
