Continuous Prefetch for Interactive Data Applications

Abstract

Interactive data visualization and exploration (DVE) applications, such as the one in Figure 1, have rapidly grown in popularity with use cases in numerous sectors [2, 4, 9, 11, 15]. Like typical web services, DVE applications may be run on heterogeneous client devices and networks, with users expecting fast response times under 100 ms [12]. However, the resource demands of DVE applications are magnified and highly unpredictable, making it difficult to achieve such interactivity.
