1. A system for facilitating fast start-up/shut-down of a computing device comprising:
- means for providing a computer device comprising a processor, volatile memory, non-volatile memory, and SRAM;
wherein the non-volatile memory comprises one or more different types of non-volatile memory, at least one of which is battery-backed SRAM;
means for providing an object store on the computing device;
means for providing a fast lossless unexpected shut-down of the computing device including means for periodically writing object store pages to the battery-backed SRAM before the object store pages are dirtied during operation of the computing device.

Abstract
Methods and systems for operating computing devices are described. In one embodiment, a small amount of static RAM (SRAM) is incorporated into an automotive computing device. The SRAM is battery-backed to provide a non-volatile memory space in which critical data, e.g. the object store, can be maintained in the event of a power loss.

6. One or more computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed, implement a method for facilitating fast start-up/shut-down of a computing device comprising:
-
providing a computer device comprising a processor, volatile memory, non-volatile memory, and SRAM; wherein the non-volatile memory comprises one or more different types of non-volatile memory, at least one of which is battery-backed SRAM; providing an object store on the computing device; wherein a fast lossless unexpected shut-down of the computing device may be accomplished by periodically writing object store pages to the battery-backed SRAM before the object store pages are dirtied during operation of the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
