Perfect! The cache simulator is complete and working correctly. Here's a summary of what was implemented: ## Summary I've implemented a sophisticated cache simulator (`main.py`) that correctly handles all the nuanced requirements: **Key Features Implemented:** 1. **Logical Clock & Expiry**: Entries expire when clock ≥ their expiry time. Expired entries are swept at the start of each operation. 2. **Frequency Tracking**: Maintains frequency estimates for all keys ever seen, incremented before each operation. Frequencies are halved (integer division) every `reset_interval` operations. 3. **Dual Segments**: - **Probation**: Where new entries start - **Protected**: Reserved for keys proven useful by reads; entries maintain MRU/LRU ordering within each segment 4. **Read Operations**: - Protected segment hit: refresh expiry, update MRU position - Probation segment hit: promote to protected, demote from protected if it exceeds capacity - Miss: return the `miss` value 5. **Write Operations**: - **Updates**: Always honored; refresh expiry and maintain segment position - **New Entries**: Frequency-gated admission where new keys must have strictly higher frequency than all entries that would be evicted 6. **Eviction**: Takes from probation LRU first, then protected LRU; demotion prevents protected overflow without eviction **Final Cache State:** - Probation: `[2 → 200]` (weight: 2) - Protected: `[1 → 150, 8 → 800]` (weight: 4) - Total weight: 5 - Rejected admissions: 2
