with regard to offline email regarding page replacement algorithms

When I was starting work on paging stuff as undergraduate circa 1968,
there was CACM article on "Local LRU" page replacement ... about the
same time I was doing "Global LRU" page replacement

In the 80s, a co-worker of Jim Gray at Tandem was getting a Stanford PHD
that involved global LRU page replacement ... and was strongly opposed
by the local LRU forces. Jim was aware that I had done a lot with global
LRU as undergraduate in the 60s (about the same time as the local LRU
CACM paper) ... and actually had nearly direct "local LRU" comparison to
"global LRU" ... and wanted me to step in to the argument on behalf of
"global LRU" PHD (the direct "global LRU" comparison numbers were
significant better than "local LRU").

Unfortunately this was in the era that I was being blamed for computer
conferencing on the internal network ... and it took nearly a year to
get IBM management approval to send the responses (even tho the response
was about work before I was an employee ... while still an undergraduate
in the 60s). I was hoping this was because IBM management was punishing
me for online computer conferencing and not because they were taking
sides in the local/global LRU academic dustup (as an aside, advisor for
this particular PHD went on to be president of stanford univ ... but was
still having hard time prevailing against the "local LRU" forces).
