I was thinking to have a special track for all the writeback related

  Well, a separate track might be a bit too much I feel ;). I'm interested
also in other things that are happening... We'll see what the program will
be but I can imagine we can discuss for a couple of hours but that might be
just a discussion in a small circle over a <enter preferable drink>.

I would like also to include a discussion on new cache writeback paterns
with the target to prevent any cache swaps that are becoming a
bigger problem
when dealing with servers wir 100's GB caches. The swap is the worst that
could happen to the performance of such systems. I will share my
latest findings
in the cache writeback in continuation to my previous discussion at
last LSF.

  I'm not sure what do you exactly mean by 'cache swaps'. If you mean that
your application private cache is swapped out, then I can imagine this is a
problem but I'd need more details to tell how big.
