Abstract
A streamed application includes a plurality of application blocks. A first subset of the plurality of application blocks is pre-stored in a cache on a host computer system prior to initiating execution of the streamed application. The streamed application may then be executed. One or more application blocks of the first subset of the plurality of application blocks may be retrieved from the cache during execution of the streamed application in response to one or more requests to access the one or more application blocks of the first subset. A second subset of the plurality of application blocks may be received from a server computer system during the execution of the streamed application and may be stored in the cache. The second subset may include one or more application blocks that were not stored in the cache when the streamed application was installed.
