⚡ BitFaster.Caching
High performance, thread-safe in-memory caching primitives for .NET.
ConcurrentLru
ConcurrentLru is a light weight drop in replacement for ConcurrentDictionary, but with bounded size enforced by the TU-Q eviction policy (based on 2Q). There are no background threads, no global locks, concurrent throughput is high, lookups are fast and hit rate outperforms a pure LRU in all tested scenarios.
Choose a capacity and use just like ConcurrentDictionary, but with bounded size:
int capacity = 128;
var lru = new ConcurrentLru<string, SomeItem>(capacity);
var value = lru.GetOrAdd("key", (key) => new SomeItem(key));
ConcurrentLfu
ConcurrentLfu is a drop in replacement for ConcurrentDictionary, but with bounded size enforced by the W-TinyLFU admission policy. ConcurrentLfu has near optimal hit rate and high scalability. Reads and writes are buffered then replayed asynchronously to mitigate lock contention.
Choose a capacity and use just like ConcurrentDictionary, but with bounded size:
int capacity = 128;
var lfu = new ConcurrentLfu<string, SomeItem>(capacity);
var value = lfu.GetOrAdd("key", (key) => new SomeItem(key));
