ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of methods and systems for improving boot-up time in computer systems utilize RAM in devices separate from the main memory, normally dedicated to another function, to provide a stack and temporary storage during BIOS execution, enabling BIOS to call subroutines and execute in a multi-threading fashion, speeding system boot-up.
