Abstract:

Systems and methods of pre-fetching data for applications in a computer system that are terminated or suspended and may be pre-launched by the computer system are disclosed. The applications may employ data that is remote from the computer system and available from a third party content resource. A method for pre-fetching such remote data comprises associating a set of application with such data and/or its location; determining a set of pre-fetching conditions, determining which applications may be pre-fetched and pre-fetching the data, if pre-fetch conditions meet a desired pre-fetch policy. A predictive module or technique may be used to identify those applications which may be pre-launched. The present system may comprise a pre-fetch success module capable of measuring the success data for a current pre-fetch and associating such success data with an application to improve future pre-fetches.
