Abstract
Method and system for operating a computer system to execute a selected predicted operation which a user has not yet requested is described. The results of the predicted operation are stored with an uncommitted (temporary) status until the user actually requests the results of the predicted operation at which time the the status of the results are changed to a committed (permanent) status so that the results become usable by the user as though generated after the user requests the predicted operation. User activity which invalidates or renders the results of the predicted operation useless is tracked, so that the results will be discarded when appropriate. The selection of the predicted operation is made based on the particular activity being performed by the user at the time. A table of predicted operations may be used which prioritizes the predicted operations. The triggering event for the predicted operation cycle may be the expiration of a time period since the last user activity or some other event which indicates that there are excess CPU resources available for predicted operations.
