Memory initialization method, non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording an initialization program, and information processing apparatus

A non-transitory computer-readable medium recording a memory initialization program in a boot sequence of an information processing apparatus having a memory and a plurality of processors for directing a processor to perform a process, comprising:

• initializing a first area of the memory required for an operation of the memory initialization program and a second area of the memory required for a kernel activation by executing the firmware stored in a first storage by a first processor;
• storing the kernel to the initialized second area from a second storage by the first processor;
• making a second processor activate and execute the kernel stored in the second area by the first processor;
• and
• initializing a remaining area of the memory by the first processor with the kernel executed by the second processor in parallel.

An information processing apparatus performing memory initialization in a boot sequence of the information processing apparatus having a memory and a plurality of processor, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a first initializing unit that initializes a first area of the memory required for an operation of the firmware and a second area of the memory required for a kernel activation by executing the firmware stored in a first storage by a first processor;
• a controlling unit that stores the kernel to the initialized second area from a second storage by executing the firmware by the first processor, and makes a second processor activate and execute the kernel stored in the second area by executing the firmware by the first processor;
• and
• a second initializing unit that initializes a remaining area of the memory by the kernel executed by the second processor and the firmware executed by the first processor in parallel.
