Class CacheFIFO

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, Cache

    public final class CacheFIFO
    extends GenericCache
    This class is a GenericCache subclass implementing a FIFO (First In First Out) cache replacement policy. In other words, values are added to the cache until the cache becomes full. Once the cache is full, if a new pattern is added to the cache, it replaces the first of the current patterns in the cache to have been added.
