Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: monitoring an application being executed on a host to generate a prediction concerning a quantity of data; requesting the quantity of data from a data array coupled to the host; receiving the quantity of data from the data array; storing the quantity of data within a frontend cache system included within the host; analyzing the accuracy of the prediction concerning the quantity of data and one or more prior predictions concerning other quantities of data to generate an accuracy score, including determining whether the quantity of data from the prediction and the other quantities of data from the one or more prior predictions were requested from the data array, wherein a weight is assigned to at least one of the prediction and the one or more prior predictions based upon, at least in part, an age of each respective prediction; generating a historical record of each respective prediction; and if the accuracy score has fallen between a range of values, ignoring at least a portion of a next quantity of data requested for a next prediction.
