Abstract
Systems and methods are described for simulated data object storage on a data storage system. The system may allow clients to store computed data objects, which are generated from a source data object based on a user-defined transformation. For example, computed data objects may be thumbnail images generated based on a full resolution image. When a request to store a computed data object is received, the system can predict a timing of a next request for the data object. If expected resource consumption associated with storing the data object until a next request exceeds expected resource consumption associated with generating the data object in response to the next request, the system can acknowledge the request to store the data object, but not actually store the data object. Instead, the system may generate the data object in response to the next request.
