Abstract (en)

[origin: CN1886729A] A method for quickly booting a personal computer system using a non-volatile reprogrammable memory device. A compressed memory image of the contents of the system working memory when the system is in a desired operational state is stored in the non-volatile reprogrammable memory. The image can be captured during a set-up process, or when the computer system is shut down. When the user restarts the computer, the memory image is decompressed and loaded into the working memory. This places the computer in an operational state in a very short space of time.
