Abstract
The claimed invention can be used to automatically determine what files are needed to optimally execute a computer program to a desired state. In one embodiment the invention automatically creates an optimized file containing the files that are necessary to reach the desired state of a computer program. One or more remainder files may also be created. A remainder file contains the files that may be used by the computer program after reaching the desired state of execution.
Claims27
A method for automatically optimizing execution of a computer program comprising the steps of:
- identifying a computer program having a plurality of files;
- identifying a first portion of said plurality of files used to attain a desired state.
- placing said first portion into an optimized file.
A computer program product comprising
- a computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied therein for automatically optimizing execution of a computer program, said computer program product comprising:
- computer readable code configured to cause a computer to identify a computer program having a plurality of files;
- computer readable code configured to cause a computer to identify a first portion of said plurality of files used to attain a desired state.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory coupled to said processor;
- a computer program having a plurality of files stored in said memory;
- a process executed on said processor, said process configured to identify a first portion of said plurality of files used to attain a desired state.
