    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to increase boot performance are disclosed. An example apparatus including instructions stored in the apparatus; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: during a boot process: identify a boot task that is to be performed during the boot process; execute the boot task using a first processor component; collect data corresponding to the execution of the boot task on the first processor component; categorize the boot task based on the collected data; and generate an entry for a boot table based on the categorization, the boot table used to schedule the boot task on at least one of the first processor component or a second processor component different than the first processor component based on the categorization.

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that initializes static random access memory (SRAM) of a processor in response to a reset of the processor, allocates the SRAM to one or more security enforcement operations, and triggers a multi-threaded execution of the one or more security enforcement operations before completion of a basic input output system (BIOS) phase. In one example, the multi-threaded execution is triggered independently of a dynamic RAM (DRAM) initialization.

    摘要: Embodiments are directed to improving boot process for early display initialization and visualization. An embodiment of a system includes a plurality of processor cores; a cache coupled to the plurality of processor cores; and a controller circuit to: initialize a portion of the cache as static memory for hardware initialization code usage before beginning execution of the hardware initialization code after a power on of the hardware processor; and cause initialization of a display device to be performed using the portion of the cache, the initialization of the display device performed independently of initialization of dynamic memory of the hardware processor.
