Enhanced boot sequence using multi-core application images

Abstract

In an example embodiment, a method is provided for combining multiple application images into a combined application image for improved boot processes. The method includes identifying multiple application images corresponding to multiple processing cores of a computer system, each including a set of application code segments corresponding to a respective processing core of the multiple processing cores, generating a combined application image based on the multiple application images, the combined application image including a set of application code segments corresponding to the set of application code segments of each application image of the multiple application images, and a mapping segment indicative of correlations between the set of application code segments of the combined application image and the set of application code segments of each application image, and storing the combined application image on an external memory external relative to the computer system.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
