ABSTRACT:
A system that causes a computing device to enter a hibernation mode. During operation, the system creates a hibernation image for the computing device by identifying processes that do not have visible user interface elements, and generating the hibernation image so that processes with visible user interface elements can be reanimated from the hibernation image first to get the computing device reanimated quickly, while the identified processes are reanimated later. Next, the system stores the hibernation image in non-volatile storage. The system then causes the computing device to enter the hibernation mode, wherein the active state of the computing device is preserved in non-volatile storage while power to volatile storage is turned off.
