Abstract: The present disclosure provides a storage device for accelerating a booting procedure. The storage device includes a non-volatile storage medium, a volatile cache memory and a storage controller. The non-volatile storage medium stores booting data and is configured to output the booting data according to a read instruction. The storage controller is configured to store the booting data to the volatile cache memory by executing the following steps: reading a booting data table including non-physical addresses of the booting data; generating a read instruction according to the booting data table, in which the read instruction indicates the physical addresses of the booting data in the non-volatile storage medium; storing the booting data from the non-volatile storage medium to the volatile cache memory; and associating the non-physical addresses of the booting data with the cache addresses of the booting data in the volatile cache memory.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a surgical system, a surgical device, and a surgical method with which startup time can be shortened.Upon receipt of an instruction from a startup execution process, a high-speed startup driver creates a high-speed startup image and writes it to an SSD. The startup execution process is a process that is executed first after an OS is started up, and has the function of executing, in cooperation with the high-speed startup driver, startup of various processes in an endoscope program, creation of a high-speed startup image, and return from the high-speed startup image. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a surgical system provided with an imaging device including an endoscope or a microscope.

Abstract: Methods, systems and storage media are disclosed for enhanced system boot processing that authenticates boot code based on biometric information of the user before loading the boot code to system memory. For at least some embodiments, the bio -metric authentication augments authentication of boot code based on a unique platform identifier. The enhanced boot code authentication occurs before loading of the operating system, and may be performed during a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot sequence. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A method for managing an initiation of a computing system. In an embodiment, the method includes a computer processor detecting that a first computing system receives a request to initiate a second computing system. The method further includes accessing a table that includes information associated with a plurality of storage entities that include bootable OS images, where the plurality of storage entities are included in at least one storage system. The method further includes determining a first storage entity that includes a corresponding instance of a first bootable OS image of the requested second computing system. The method further includes initiating the requested second computing system based, at least in part, on the instance of the bootable OS image of the first storage entity.

Abstract: The present technology utilizes agents to monitor and report data from Java virtual machines (JVM) to a controller as part of application performance monitoring. When a JVM is loaded, code defining an interface for agents is loaded as well. A determination may be made as to whether the loaded agent implements the interface defined at the JVM. If the loaded agent does not implement the interface, for example if it is missing one or more methods defined by the interface, the agent class may be modified to define the missing methods. The modification to the agent class may be made after compilation but before the class is loaded into the JVM.

Abstract: Techniques for memory management of a data processing system are described herein. According to one embodiment, a memory usage monitor executed by a processor of a data processing system monitors memory usages of groups of programs running within a memory of the data processing system. In response to determining that a first memory usage of a first group of the programs exceeds a first predetermined threshold, a user level reboot is performed in which one or more applications running within a user space of an operating system of the data processing system are terminated and relaunched. In response to determining that a second memory usage of a second group of the programs exceeds a second predetermined threshold, a system level reboot is performed in which one or more system components running within a kernel space of the operating system are terminated and relaunched.

Abstract: Various configurations and methods for disabling system management mode (SMM) and verifying a disabled status of SMM in a computing system are disclosed. In various examples, SMM may be disabled through a hardware strap, soft-straps, or firmware functions, and the indication of the SMM disabled status may be included in a model specific register (MSR) value accessible to the central processing unit (CPU). Additionally, techniques for verifying whether SMM is disabled in hardware or firmware, preventing access of SMM functionality, and handling secure software operations are disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods related providing application execution information (AEI) are provided. A server can receive a request to provide a software package for a particular software application. The server can determine composite AEI (CAEI) for the particular software application. The CAEI can include a composite list of software with data about software methods of the particular software application executed by a computing device other than the server. The server can extract particular AEI related to the particular software application from the CAEI. The particular AEI can provide compiler hints for compiling at least one software method predicted to be executed by the particular software application. The server can generate the software package, where the software package can include the particular software application and the particular AEI. The server can provide the software package.
