Caching Beyond RAM: The Case for NVMe
I think there's only a part of ARC that was patented so if you ran the lists differently, you could basically use the double-list idea where you move entities back and forth between them as long as the lists aren't of the same kind.

I basically used a memory-weighted variant of the ARC algorithm, sufficiently different so that the patent doesn't cover it.
I imagine there are quite a couple of variants of ARC you can use without violating the patent.
