A new technology startup in less than four seconds, is what gives the Japanese company Lineo your system called Warp 2.

The question is how do they get? Well, in a very peculiar with three elements, the first would be a bootloader. the second a Linux kernel driver and the third a hibernation. Its operation would be roughly when hibernate, the driver copies the contents of the RAM and stored in Flash memory with the option to compress them, when starting the system again returns the contents of Flash memory to RAM the same point you left it.

This ensures that the shutdown is more rapid and well lit, but if the content is not compressed can have a start time of 2.97 seconds, the test made ​​in a Atmark Armadillo-500 CPU with a CPU evaluation ARM11 Freescale i . MX31L to 400 Mhz.

Compared to more than 30 seconds of standard equipment (it is assumed that GNU / Linux, BSD) is clear.

The manufacturer claims it works under Linux architectures: ARM - Cortex-A8 / ARM11 / ARM9, SuperH - Renesas SH-4 / SH-4A / SH-4AL, Power Architecture - Freescale PowerQUICC II Pro, MIPS - mips32r2.
