Abstract :
In a server client based distributed computing system, data can be cached at the clients to increase read efficiency and system scalability. When the consistency of the caches can be relaxed and the inconsistency controlled, the performance of the distributed system can be further improved. The authors elaborate on this concept and present a prototype system which they have constructed to show the viability of the concept
