Abstract: The illustrative embodiments described herein are directed to a system, methods, and computer program product, for network acceleration and efficient indexing for caching file systems. For example, the disclosed embodiments achieve (1) high compression rate, (2) low disk seeks, and (3) low memory pressure using by introducing novel features such as, but not limited to, multi-resolution chunking and intelligent load shedding. In addition, the disclosed embodiments introduces a family of HashCache policies that enable large size web caching with little or no use of main memory.

Abstract: The invention provides a storage and retrieval routine for Web objects. A Web page typically includes several objects such as text, images and hyper-links to other Web pages. Each Web page and its objects are usually stored in separate files. A storage and retrieval routine stores objects that correspond to the same Web page in co-located positions on a disk. Therefore, when the Web page and its embedded and hyper-linked Web objects are retrieved, the seek time is reduced, thereby reducing the object retrieval time as perceived by a computer user and increasing the number of requests per second that a Web content server can deliver.
