Construction and usage of a pre-warmed cache for client-server emulator

摘要

A method of communicating between computers, particularly between a host connected to a network server, and a workstation client running a terminal emulator. A pre-warmed cache is generated, containing information used in common by emulation programs on the client and server.The pre-warmed cache can be loaded on the client, e.g., when establishing a session with the server. The pre-warmed cache may be generated by executing an application on the host, transmitting at least one terminal data stream associated with the application to the server (or to a second server configured substantially similar to the first server) and building a cache instance using one or more portions of the terminal data stream. A single pre-warmed cache can be provided for different hosts.
