FAST BOOTING OPERATING SYSTEM FROM OFF STATE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G06F9/24 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: described is a fast boot mechanism which generally operates by storing static data and/or code for a system component, and then providing the system component with access to the static data and/or code during a subsequent device boot. Static data and/or code of one or more components may be transferred from non-volatile memory to volatile memory, whereby subsequent reboots need not have the components re-compute their stored static data. A fast boot infrastructure may include an interface set, and provides a first mechanism which stores static data and/or code for a system component, and a second mechanism which provides the system component with access to the static data and/ or code. The fast boot infrastructure may also provide the component with a way to invalidate static data and/or code, along with a background mechanism that collects static data and/or code from the system component.

EFFECT: faster booting of a computer system.
