Ultra-fast web browsing - Amazon Silk: Amazon Silk is a revolutionary, cloud-accelerated browser that uses a "split browser" architecture to leverage the computing speed and power of the Amazon Web Services cloud.
Amazon Silk is different in a radical new way. When you use Silk, without thinking about it or doing anything explicit, you’re calling on the computing speed and power of the Amazon Web Services cloud (AWS)
This allows Silk to draw on Amazon’s cloud for processing power to retrieve and load a webpage more swiftly on the Fire , the browser will stack to push pieces of the computation into the AWS cloud. This lets Silk do more work, more quickly, and all at once.. For example ; To load a webpage , Silk decides if the tablet’s power can run it ,it determine the page on its network conditions and page complexity before or if it needs to extract and uses the power from the AWS cloud to load the page .
AmazonSilk browser software resides both on Kindle Fire and on their massive server fleet that comprises the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).
Finally, Silk leverages the collaborative filtering techniques and machine learning algorithms Amazon has built over the last 15 years to power the “Smooth as silk “ features
EC2 servers have massive computational power. On EC2, available CPU, storage, and available memory can be orders of magnitudes larger than on mobile devices.
Silk is allowed to access and uses the power and speed of the EC2 server fleet to retrieve all of the components of a website simultaneously, and delivers them to Kindle Fire in a single, fast stream. Transferring computing-intensive tasks to EC2 helps to conserve your Kindle Fire battery life.
Traditional browsers must wait to receive the HTML file in order to begin downloading the other page assets. Silk is different because it learns these page characteristics automatically by aggregating the results of millions of page loads and maintaining this knowledge on EC2.
While another browser on a different tablet might still be setting up a connection with the host server, Silk has already with it new “ split Browser “ has already pushed content that it knows is associated with the page to Kindle Fire before the site has even instructed the browser where to find it.
As Silk serves up millions of page views every day, it learns more about the individual sites it renders and where users go next. By observing the aggregate traffic patterns on various web sites, it refines its heuristics, allowing for accurate predictions of the next page request.
For example, Silk might observe that 85 percent of visitors to a leading news site next click on that site’s top headline.
With that intelligence knowledge, EC2 and Silk together make intelligent decisions about pre-pushing content to the Kindle Fire. As a result, the next page a Kindle Fire customer is likely to visit will already be available locally in the device cache, enabling instant rendering to the screen.
( such features are truly exclusive only with Kindle Fire !)
Only $199: The all-new Kindle Fire is only $199. Customers in the U.S. can pre-order Kindle Fire at Amazon.com/kindlefire
