LATENCY VIRTU ALIZATION DATA ACCELERATOR

摘要

A technique involves placing a data acceleration engine between an end user device and a host device. The host device provides data associated with a client application to the data acceleration engine, which provides the data to the end user device. If the data acceleration engine is on the host device, content from a datastore is served to the data acceleration engine as if the data acceleration engine were a client running the client application locally; therefore, latency normally associated with a network between the content datastore and the client device is eliminated. If the data acceleration engine is on the end user device and has received at least some data in advance of a relevant query, responses to the query also do not have latency associated with a network. The data acceleration engine can be implemented as a series of data acceleration engines between end user and host devices.
