  • System and method for intelligent data caching
    Patent number: 7080060
    Abstract: The present disclosure teaches a method and system for intelligent data management. The system preferably includes a caching service having a listener and plurality of query threads adapted to enable communications with a data type independent cache container. The listener is adapted to acknowledge requests for data access from one or more system processes or services and to connect the requesting services to a respective query thread. Once communicatively connected, the application services may leverage one or more data manipulation functions associated with the cache container to store and/or access data. For optimum efficiency with large amounts of data, the data type independent cache container is preferably constructed using a plurality of data storage vectors organized according to a hash table.
