Abstract
Memoization may be deployed using a configuration file or database that identifies functions to memorize, and in some cases, includes input and result values for those functions. As an application is executed, functions defined in the configuration file may be captured and memoized. During the first execution of the function, the return value may be captured and stored in the configuration file. For subsequent executions of the function, the return value may be stored in the configuration file. In some cases, the configuration file may be distributed with the return values to client computers. The configuration file may be created by one device and deployed to other devices in some deployments.
