  • Patent number: 10812615
    Abstract: The application discloses caching method, system and device of edge computing and computer readable storage medium, wherein the edge computing network is divided into a plurality of zones each including a plurality of sub-zones. Each sub-zone corresponds to an edge computing node, which is divided into local sub-zone storage space and zone-shared storage space. Depending on the popularity for respective information data, they are stored into the local sub-zone storage space and zone-shared storage space in respective edge computing nodes, in order to optimize cooperative processing of user access requests across nodes, reduce the delivery latency, and maximize utilization of the processing capacity and storage space. Through constant adjustments to the size of local sub-zone storage space and changes to the distribution of information data, the storage distribution data at shortest average delivery latency is obtained, so as to achieve the minimum average delivery latency.
