Publication number: 20130346734Abstract: Fast computer startup is provided by, upon receipt of a shutdown command, recording state information representing a target state. In this target state, the computing device may have closed all user sessions, such that no user state information is included in the target state. However, the operating system may still be executing. In response to a command to startup the computer, this target state may be quickly reestablished from the recorded target state information. Portions of a startup sequence may be performed to complete the startup process, including establishing user state. To protect user expectations despite changes in response to a shutdown command, creation and use of the file holding the recorded state information may be conditional on dynamically determined events. Also, user and programmatic interfaces may provide options to override creation or use of the recorded state information.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2013Publication date: December 26, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mehmet Iyigun, Yevgeniy Bak, Emily N. Wilson, Kirsten V. Stark, Sushu Zhang, Patrick L. Stemen, Brian E. King, Vasilios Karagounis, Neel Jain

Patent number: 8533449Abstract: Resume of a computing device from hibernation may be performed in multiple phases. Each phase may partially restore a state of the computing device to an operational state and may establish an environment in which another phase of the resume is performed. The hibernation information may be partitioned to store separately data to be used at each resume phase. The information may be stored in a compressed form. In a first phase, a boot-level resume loader may restore a portion of the operating system based on a portion of the hibernation information. The restored portion may be used in a second phase to retrieve hibernation information from another portion through the operating system (OS). Multiple processors supported by the OS may read and decompress the hibernation information that is then moved back to operational memory. The operating system may support asynchronous disk input/output or other functions that accelerate the resume process.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2011Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Yevgeniy M. Bak, Kirsten V. Stark, Mehmet Iyigun, Emily N. Wilson, Andrew D. Rogers, James A. Schwartz, Jr., Nicholas Stephen Judge
