Abstract—An efficient intelligent cache replacement policy
suitable for picture archiving and communication systems
(PACS) was proposed in this work. By combining the Support
vector machine (SVM) with the classic least recently used (LRU)
cache replacement policy, we have created a new intelligent
cache replacement policy called SVM-LRU. The SVM-LRU
policy is unlike conventional cache replacement policies, which
are solely dependent on the intrinsic properties of the cached
items. Our PACS-oriented SVM-LRU algorithm identifies the
variables that affect file access probabilities by mining medical
data. The SVM algorithm is then used to model the future access
probabilities of the cached items, thus improving cache
performance. Finally, a simulation experiment was performed
using the trace-driven simulation method. It was shown that the
SVM-LRU cache algorithm significantly improves PACS cache
performance when compared to conventional cache replacement
policies like LRU, LFU, SIZE and GDS.
