In this research paper, we compare the basic cache algorithms in terms of
performance and speed for the purposes of web caching for dynamic content
and hard disk buffering purposes, by studying the traditional algorithms in
this field, in order to
determine the utilization of the basic algorithms in disk
storage in the field of web caching. The results shows that algorithms with
replacement functions that rely on basic indicators (such as LRU, LFU) give
better results in storage for storage purposes in hard drives, while web
caching algorithms need additional benchmarks for replacement work to get
high performance indicators, Web Cache algorithms also show lower
performance then that hard drive, so the need to constantly develop the Web
cache algorithm.
