Configurable caching policy for transferring data via shared memory

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• obtaining feedback data indicative of a number of read messages in a shared memory, the shared memory comprising a main memory and a cache;
• estimating a number of unread messages in the shared memory based on the number of read messages in the shared memory;
• comparing the number of unread messages in the shared memory to a threshold;
• determining whether a message is cacheable based on the comparison;
• and
• writing the message to the cache or the main memory of the shared memory based on whether the message is cacheable.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• generating feedback data indicative of a number of read messages in a shared memory, the shared memory comprising a main memory and a cache, wherein an access latency of the cache is less than an access latency of the main memory;
• sending the feedback data to a sender agent that designates whether a message is cacheable based on an estimation of a number of unread messages in the shared memory derived from the feedback data;
• and
• reading the message from the cache or the main memory of the shared memory based on whether the message is designated as cacheable.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining feedback data indicative of a number of read messages in a shared memory, the shared memory comprising a main memory and a cache;
• estimating a number of unread messages in the shared memory based on the number of read messages in the shared memory;
• comparing the number of unread messages in the shared memory to a threshold;
• determining whether a message is cacheable based on the comparison;
• and
• writing the message to the cache or the main memory of the shared memory based on whether the message is cacheable.
