+/**
+ * @file
+ * Declaration of a Re-Reference Interval Prediction replacement policy.
+ *
+ * Not-Recently Used (NRU) is an approximation of LRU that uses a single bit
+ * to determine if a block is going to be re-referenced in the near or distant
+ * future.
+ *
+ * Re-Reference Interval Prediction (RRIP) is an extension of NRU that uses a
+ * re-reference prediction value to determine if blocks are going to be re-
+ * used in the near future or not.
+ *
+ * The higher the value of the RRPV, the more distant the block is from
+ * its next access.
+ *
+ * Bimodal Re-Reference Interval Prediction (BRRIP) is an extension of RRIP
+ * that has a probability of not inserting blocks as the LRU. This probability
+ * is controlled by the bimodal throtle parameter (btp).
+ *
+ * From the original paper, this implementation of RRIP is also called
+ * Static RRIP (SRRIP), as it always inserts blocks with the same RRPV.
