  abstract = {A new cooperative caching mechanism, PACA, along with a caching
  algorithm, LRU-Interleaved, and an aggressive prefetching algorithm,
  Full-File-On-Open, are presented. The caching algorithm is especially
  targeted to parallel machines running a microkernel-based operating system.
  It avoids the cache coherence problem with no loss in performance. Comparing
  our algorithm with N-Chance Forwarding, in the above environment, better
  results have been obtained by LRU-Interleaved. We also evaluate an aggressive
  prefetching algorithm that highly increases read performance taking advantage
  of the huge caches cooperative caching offers.},
