CACHE MANAGEMENT FOR PARALLEL ASYNCHRONOUS REQUESTS IN A CONTENT DELIVERY SYSTEM

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for cache management in handling parallel asynchronous requests for content in a content distribution system. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for cache management method for handling parallel asynchronous requests for content in a content distribution system can include servicing multiple parallel asynchronous requests from different requesting clients for a page before all fragments in the page have been retrieved by returning previously cached ones of the fragments to the requesting clients and returning remaining ones of the fragments in the page to the requesting clients as retrieved from non- cached storage. The method further can include assembling the page once all fragments in the page have been retrieved from non-cached storage. Finally, the method can include caching the assembled page to subsequently service requests for the page.
