Abstract
The World Wide Web is the most popular application of the Internet. Web retrieval latency is one of the most important issues in web services and applications. With the increasing number of digital materials appearing in web pages, there emerges a special issue regarding the acceleration of pages containing big web objects. Existing acceleration mechanisms are not effective in this aspect. In this paper, we propose a fine-grained Intra-Object Parallelism (IOP) to address this problem. Our results show that this mechanism can achieve significant improvement on retrieval latency for big objects.
