Information Caching System

A data processing system for expediting processing of a request by a client computer, the data processing system comprising:

• a CPU, a computer-readable, tangible storage device, and a computer-readable memory;
• first program instructions to identify second and third requests made by a first server computer to second and third server computers, respectively, to process a first request by the client computer to the first server computer in response to the first request by the client computer to the first server computer;
• second program instructions to correlate the second and third requests to the first request;
• and
• third program instructions to send other instances of the second and third requests to the second and third server computers, respectively, before the first server computer can send the other instances of the second and third requests to the second and third server computers, respectively, in response to normal processing by the first server computer of a subsequent instance of the first request by the client computer based on the correlation of the second and third requests to the first request to expedite processing of the subsequent instance of the first request by the client computer responsive to the subsequent instance of the first request by the client computer to the first server computer, wherein the first, the second, and the third program instructions are stored on the computer-readable, tangible storage device for execution by the CPU in the computer-readable memory.

A computer program product for expediting processing of a request by a client computer, wherein the computer program product comprises a computer-readable, tangible storage device(s) and computer-readable program instructions stored on the computer-readable, tangible storage device(s) to manage copies of data objects in a network data processing system, wherein the computer-readable program instructions, when executed by a CPU:

• identify second and third requests made by a first server computer to second and third server computers, respectively, to process a first request by the client computer to the first server computer in response to the first request by the client computer to the first server computer;
• correlate the second and third requests to the first request;
• and
• send other instances of the second and third requests to the second and third server computers, respectively, before the first server computer can send the other instances of the second and third requests to the second and third server computers, respectively, in response to normal processing by the first server computer of a subsequent instance of the first request by the client computer based on the correlation of the second and third requests to the first request to expedite processing of the subsequent instance of the first request by the client computer responsive to the subsequent instance of the first request by the client computer to the first server computer.
