In a web application, cache can improve the performance of application by several orders of magnitude generally. The article analyzes the role of cache in software application level optimization in detail and divides cache into local cache, local sharedmemory cache, distributed memory cache, disk cache. Several cache control policies including alive time, invalid in writing, invalid in reading et.al are studied and the problems when using cache in applications are pointed out. 　　 Key words 　　Software application level; Cache; Optimization; Cache control policies ZHENG Ying (2012).

In a classical web application, using cache produces less content than directly providing service. Cache can improve the performance of application by several orders of magnitude generally [1]. When using cache, the following points should be paid attention to: which content needs to be cached; where to cache; the size of cache granularity and invalid cache policy, et.al. 　　Generally, a high-loadapplication has many levels of cache. Cache not only appears in servers, but also includes users’web browsers [2]. In general, the closer to clients the cache is, the more resour
