Abstract
A method for facilitating fast start-up/shut-down of a computing device having a processor, volatile memory, non-volatile memory, and SRAM is described. In one embodiment, an object store for the computing device is provided in the non-volatile memory. A fast lossless shut-down of the computing device may be accomplished by periodically writing data from the object store to a non-volatile medium during operation of the computing device.
