SwiftBoot kick starts Linux in under one second
SwiftBoot kick starts Linux in under one second
Are you happy that your Linux OS boots up real quick, say in about 40-60 seconds ? Do you really think thats the best Linux can do ? Certainly not, Linux is getting better and better everyday, it has come a long way and has proved to be considerably good at what it does. A company called MPC Data has developed a solution called swiftBoot that helps booting into a fully running Linux OS in under one second.
Heres a video demonstrating its booting speed:
No other gimmick involved other than optimizations done, as a result of a good understanding of the Linux system.
Heres another one on a TI OMAP3530 based OMAP3530EVM board. This time, they use a stop-watch for monitoring the performance.
The demos show that not only does the system soft-boot in within a second but it also function normally after that.
--Expecting to see more of such advancements in Linux systems.
