Systems and methods for delivering content over a computer network

A system for transmitting structured information over a network having an identified available throughput, comprising:

• a server providing the information,
• a client receiving the information from the server,
• a profiler monitoring transmission of the information from the server and generating at least one load map based on an analysis of an information access pattern at the server,
• a map reader, based on the at least one load map, for interpreting information contained within a load map and for generating time valued requests to the server based on available throughput and informational requirements, and
• a cache manager that merges the information to organize the structured information, for use by the client.

A method for providing multiple levels of support for executing over a computer network a program having blocks of executable code, comprising

• providing, for a plurality of network performance levels, a plurality of load maps associated with respective ones of said network performance levels and having a list of sections of executable code of the program ordered according to the expected priority of access of the executable code by the program,
• determining a network performance level available through the network to a client,
• selecting a load map as a function of the network performance level available, and
• allowing the client to request sections of the program according to the load map selected.

A method for providing multiple levels of support for executing over a computer network a program having blocks of executable code, comprising

• providing a file system management process for monitoring file access operations of a computer program executing within an application memory space,
• executing the program,
• employing the file system management process, while the program is being executed, for determining a sequence and a timing pattern with which blocks of executable code are loaded into the application memory space, and
• processing the sequence and timing pattern to generate a load map representative of a sequence and timing pattern for transmitting blocks of executable code over the network.
