With a temporary operating unit being operating, a user provides a boot timing using a boot timing instructing unit. This causes a CPU to compute a boot preparation timing based on the boot timing, and store the boot timing and boot preparation timing to a boot timing memory. At this time, a timer begins a time-keeping operation. After that, the user turns off the power to the temporary operating unit. A boot preparation instructing unit determines whether or not the time being measured by the timer coincides with the boot preparation timing stored in the boot timing memory. When the time measured by the timer coincides with the boot preparation timing stored in the boot timing memory, the boot preparation instructing unit provides the CPU with a boot preparation instruction. This turns on the power to the temporary operating unit, and the CPU performs a boot preparation.

A method, computer program product and system for reducing the boot time of a client device in a client device/data center environment. A profile of the client device, which includes information regarding the usage characteristics of the client device, may be created. A confidence level indicating the likelihood that the client device is going to be booted may be determined based on the client device's profile. The confidence level and the utilization of the resources of the server blades in the data center may be examined in determining whether to have an appropriate server blade perform an action involved in booting the operating system of the client device. If the appropriate server blade performs such an action, e.g., pre-booting the client device's operating system, prior to the user of the client device attempting to boot its operating system, then the boot time may be reduced.

A method for performing a quick boot and a general boot at a basic input output system (BIOS) stage is described. A computer is powered on. An embedded controller firmware or a BIOS determines whether a quick boot key is pressed. If the quick boot key is not pressed, a boot flag is changed from Quick Boot to General Boot. If the quick boot key is pressed, the BIOS determines whether the boot flag is set to Quick Boot. If it is determined that the boot flag is set to Quick Boot, an initialization of drivers preset by the quick boot is performed, and uninitialized drivers are initialized at a stage when an operating system is started. If it is determined that the boot flag is set to General Boot, an initialization of all drivers is performed.

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method and a device of online energy-saving dispatching in a cloud computing data center. The method comprises that an application scene which the embodiment aims at is that resources in the data center are dispatched online; that is to say, a dispatching system does not known all the virtual machine requests in the data center, but only can distribute the virtual machines one by one online and in real time. The dispatching system distributes the virtual machines to suitable physic machines based on the specification and service time of the virtual machine task requests and the use condition of the current data center resource. The serial number of the physic servers is regarded as priority when the virtual machine task requests are distributed, and the physic servers with secondary high distribution priority are considered after tasks are sequentially distributed to all physic servers with high priority. Meanwhile, the virtual machine resources on different physic machines are further integrated together in combination with suitable migration every a period of time. Therefore, through reasonable and efficient utilization of resources of the physic machines, the total boot time of the physic servers is reduced and accordingly the purpose of reducing the energy consumption of the data center is reduced.

The second control circuit turns on the mother circuit when the reduced voltage potential is reached, with a signal produced by the first control circuit reflects the voltage potential. Furthermore, a bypass circuit can be used to reduce leakage current.

Option ROMs associated with information handling system processing components is selectively disabled to reduce the time associated with one or more boots of the information handling system, such as during deployment of applications after manufacture of the information handling system. An Option ROM selector module identifies one or more Option ROMs to disable at a boot, such as Option ROMs associated with processing components that are not needed for deployment of applications, and communicates the disabled Option ROMs to an Option ROM boot execution controller of the information handling system, such as with SMBIOS tokens. At a subsequent boot, the Option ROM execution controller prevents the BIOS from loading disabled Option ROMs for execution so that boot time is reduced with impact to the deployment of applications.
