AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In cloud computing environments, the process of loading software applications, such as games, can take a significant amount of time, leading to a negative user experience due to prolonged waiting periods before the application is ready for streaming.

Method used

Implementing a preloading mechanism where the application hosting platform loads general data into a virtualized computing environment when the user selects the application, allowing the environment to be prepared for immediate user access once user-specific data is loaded.

Benefits of technology

Reduces the time between selecting and accessing a software application, enhancing the user experience by minimizing waiting times and optimizing resource usage.

Abstract

Apparatus, systems, and techniques for preloading software applications in a cloud computing environment. The method may include sending a preload request to preload a first portion of data for an application hosted in an application hosting platform, the preload request being received prior to receiving user input identifying the application to execute. The method may include receiving a first indication that the first portion of data has been preloaded and receiving a user request to execute the application. The method may further include sending a load request to load a second portion of data for the application, receiving a second indication that the second portion of data has been loaded for the application, and executing the application in the virtualized computing environment in response to receiving the second indication.
