This research paper introduces a complemen- tary cache eviction policy, “Second Encounter Eviction”(SEE), designed to enhance traditional cache management strategies like Least Recently Used (LRU) and First In First Out (FIFO). The central hypothesis of SEE is that an item’s second en- counter is a stronger indicator of its need for retention, imply- ing a higher likelihood of future utility. The Second Encounter Eviction (SEE) Strategy prioritizes incoming data importance, unlike traditional cache eviction methods that focus mainly on outgoing data significance. This method adds a new dimension to existing strategies by incorporating a decision-making layer that assesses the probability of future access based on previous encounters.
