Abstract
An accelerated boot process for a multiprocessor system and system components for use with the process are disclosed. Each processor caches at least one compressed system image in local nonvolatile memory. The processors boot concurrently, each using a local image. After a master processor is booted, the other processors verify with the master that each has booted a correct image version. Various redundancy and fallback features are described, which guarantee that all cards can boot and operate even if the preferred local system image contains a defect.
