Abstract: Methods and structure for utilizing a Solid State Drive (SSD) to enhance boot time for a computer. The computer includes an SSD that stores a boot cache for an Operating System of a computer, a Hard Disk Drive that stores the Operating System, and a processor. The processor is able to load an interrupt handler that intercepts Input/Output requests directed to the Hard Disk Drive prior to loading a kernel of the Operating System. The interrupt handler is able to determine whether each intercepted request can be serviced with data from the boot cache, and to redirect a request to the SSD instead of the Hard Disk Drive if the request can be serviced with data from the boot cache.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for aliasing buffers. Embodiment of the inventions supporting buffer aliasing through introduction of a level of indirection between a source program's buffer accesses and the target executable physical buffers, and binding the logical buffer accesses to actual physical buffer accesses at runtime. A variety of techniques for can be used supporting runtime aliasing of buffers, in a system which otherwise disallows such runtime aliasing between separately defined buffers in the target executable code. Binding of logical buffer accesses in the source program to the actual physical buffers defined in the target executable code is delayed until runtime.
