  • Publication number: 20130297575
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing fast and efficient data compression using a combination of content dependent, content estimation, and content independent data compression. In one aspect of the disclosure a method for compressing data comprises the steps of: analyzing a data block of an input data stream to identify a data type of the data block, the input data stream comprising a plurality of disparate data types; performing content dependent data compression on the data block, if the data type of the data block is identified; performing content estimation data compression if the content is estimable; and performing content independent data compression on the data block, if the data type of the data block is not identified or estimable. In another aspect of the present invention LZDR compression is applied to simultaneously perform one method of compression while computing statistics useful in estimating the optimal form of compression to be applied.

  • Patent number: 8112619
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing accelerated loading of operating system and application programs upon system boot or application launch are disclosed. In one aspect, a method for providing accelerated loading of an operating system comprises the steps of: maintaining a list of boot data used for booting a computer system; preloading the boot data upon initialization of the computer system; and servicing requests for boot data from the computer system using the preloaded boot data. In another aspect, a method for providing accelerated launching of an application program comprises the steps of: maintaining a list of application data associated with an application program; preloading the application data upon launching the application program; and servicing requests for application data from a computer system using the preloaded application data.

  • Patent number: 8090936
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing accelerated loading of operating system and application programs. In one aspect, a method for providing accelerated loading of an operating system comprises the steps of: maintaining a list of boot data; preloading the boot data upon initialization of the computer system; and servicing requests for boot data from the computer system using the preloaded boot data. In a preferred embodiment, the boot data is retrieved from a boot device and stored in a cache memory device. In another aspect, a method for accelerated loading of an operating system comprises updating the list of boot data during the boot process, wherein updating comprises adding to the list any boot data requested by the computer system not previously stored in the list and/or removing from the list any boot data previously stored in the list and not requested by the computer system.
