Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for loading an application. An embodiment of the method comprises: selecting, in a programmable read-only memory, a storage space for storing a preset data section in an executable file of an application; copying the preset data section to a memory, and relocating the preset data section based on a start address of the storage space; and copying the relocated preset data section to the storage space. A relocation of a code portion of the executable file in the memory is implemented, and the relocated code portion is then written back into the programmable read-only memory, so that the relocation of the code portion can be completed only by one erase operation for a memory block, thereby reducing system overheads during the application loading process, and reducing wear of the programmable read-only memory.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for operating on a file. A specific embodiment of the method comprises: receiving a request of an operation on a target file, acquiring index information associated with a storage space address of a data page based on a file name and a data page identifier, the index information being stored in an on-chip memory of a processor for executing a machine instruction corresponding to the operation; and finding the data page based on the index information, and performing the operation on the data page. Accordingly, the operation on the file is implemented depending on an index stored in the on-chip memory, so that memory overheads of accessing the index are equivalent to 0, and memory resources are saved, thereby reducing system overheads.
