Web Cache Prefetching by Multi-dimensional Matrix

Abstract

In this paper, we study Web cache prefetching with multiple Web pages. Four multi-prefetching models including the Top-m, Future-r, (Top-m)+(Future-r) and multi-dimensional matrix are introduced. The idea is based on examination of the probabilities on sequence request patterns. Simulation results on hit rate comparison are also presented. The algorithms generalize the previous work of two-dimensional probability matrix in the application of Web cache prefetching.
