A data-processing system (DTS) includes a central hardware unit (CPU) and an additional hardware unit (HW), the central hardware unit (CPU) being adapted to execute a task by a processing thread (T), and to trigger offloading of execution of a first part (P, P, P) of the task to the additional hardware unit (HW); and wherein the additional hardware unit is adapted to call on functionalities of the central hardware unit (CPU), triggered by the first part, and the central hardware unit (CPU) executes a second part (P) of the task forming a sub-part of the first part by a service processing thread (T).

Double processing offloading to additional and central processing units

A method of operating a computer system in communications, via a communication network, with a server comprising an image of a kernel of a minimal operating system and an image of an associated file system for the computer system includes loading, via the communication network, the kernel image from the server to the computer system in accordance with a network transfer protocol interface, and loading, via the communication network, the file system image from the server to the computer system in accordance with the same network transfer protocol interface used to load the kernel image, wherein the loading of the kernel image from the server to the computer system is launched before the loading of the file system image from the server to the computer system is completed, and wherein the loading of the file system image from the server to the computer system is launched before the loading of the kernel image from the server to the computer system is completed.

Method and device for optimizing loading and booting of an operating system in a computer system via a communication network

A blade of components for a computer system, intended to be inserted into a computer system rack, is disclosed. In one aspect, it includes a frame with means for electrically connecting to the computer rack, and a computer component holder having a plurality of through-slots configured to receive computer components translatably along the longitudinal direction of the slot. The component holder is movably mounted by means of a slide connection in relation to the frame, such that it can move between a first position in which the holder is inserted substantially into the frame and a second position in which the holder is at least partially removed from the frame, such that the vertical line of all of the slots is kept free along the longitudinal direction of each in order to allow the translatable insertion and extraction of computer components along the longitudinal direction.
