/**

* 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 an entry 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 entries are going to be re-
* used in the near future or not.
*
* The higher the value of the RRPV, the more distant the entry is from its
* next access.
*
* Bimodal Re-Reference Interval Prediction (BRRIP) is an extension of RRIP
* that has a probability of not inserting entries 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 entries with the same RRPV.
