ABSTRACT:
A system, method and computer program product of especial utility in providing a visual indication to a computer system user of the familiar "blinking", of pulsing, data access lights of conventional hardware data sources such as disk drives, CDROM drives and network connections in order to illustrate data cache "hits" and "misses" of an inherently computer program based caching function by incorporating simulated access lights as part of a graphical user interface ("GUI") for a data caching computer program. The GUI then allows a system user to intuitively visualize how effectively the data cache is functioning with respect to data which is accessed from the cache and data which must be accessed from another relatively more slow access time data source.
