Maintaining Stale Files to Minimize Computing Costs - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17804609 titled 'Maintaining Stale Files to Minimize Computing Costs
Simplified Explanation
- The present disclosure describes systems and methods for minimizing computing costs by maintaining stale files. - The system determines if a hydrated file is eligible to remain temporarily stale. - If eligible, the system causes the hydrated file to remain stale until a content refresh is pending. - While the file is stale, a set of rules is evaluated to determine if the file should be refreshed. - If the rules determine that the file should be refreshed, it is refreshed.
Original Abstract Submitted
Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for maintaining stale files to minimize computing costs. In examples, a determination is made regarding whether a hydrated file is eligible to remain temporarily stale. If the hydrated file is determined to be eligible to remain temporarily stale, the hydrated file is caused to remain stale at a time when a content refresh for the hydrated file is pending. While the hydrated file remains stale, a set of rules for determining whether the hydrated file should be refreshed is evaluated. If, based on the set of rules, it is determined that the hydrated file should be refreshed, the hydrated file is refreshed.
