Abstract
Systems, methods and products are described that provide accelerated boot performance. One aspect includes initiating a booting process of a user operating system of a computer system; identifying a non-critical hardware device set for start up according to the user operating system; excluding the non-critical hardware device; and completing the booting process to provide the user operating system without starting an excluded non-critical hardware device. Other embodiments are described.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- initiating a booting process of a user operating system of a computer system;
- identifying a non-critical hardware device set for start up according to the user operating system;
- identifying a non-delay factor for one or more non-critical hardware devices, the non-delay factor being selected from the group consisting of a booting time non-delay factor and a user account association non-delay factor;
- excluding a non-critical hardware device not having the non-delay factor;
- and
- completing the booting process to provide the user operating system without loading and initializing an excluded non-critical hardware device.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory in operative connection with the one or more processors;
- wherein, responsive to execution of computer program instructions accessible to the one or more processors, the one or more processors are configured to:
- initiate a booting process of a user operating system of the system;
- identify a non-critical hardware device set for start up according to the user operating system;
- identify a non-delay factor for one or more non-critical hardware devices, the non-delay factor being selected from the group consisting of a booting time non-delay factor and a user account association non-delay factor;
- exclude a non-critical hardware device not having the non-delay factor;
- and
- complete the booting process to provide the user operating system without loading and initializing an excluded non-critical hardware device.
7 more elements
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage device having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code configured to initiate a booting process of a user operating system of the system;
- computer readable program code configured to identify a non-critical hardware device set for start up according to the user operating system;
- computer readable program code configured to identify a non-delay factor for one or more non-critical hardware devices, the non-delay factor being selected from the group consisting of a booting time non-delay factor and a user account association non-delay factor;
- computer readable program code configured to exclude a non-critical hardware device not having the non-delay factor;
- and
- computer readable program code configured to complete the booting process to provide the user operating system without loading and initializing an excluded non-critical hardware device.
