Accelerated KNOPPIX 1.0

Accelerated KNOPPIX is a fast-booting variant of the popular KNOPPIX live CD.

The mechanism of acceleration in the live CD

A cloop profiler is developed in order to grasp the access situation of CD.

Although various files are referred to in Live CD in the case of a system startup, since each position of media is dotted with the file, a lot of seeking will generate it at the time of reading. If the seek time of this CD is lost, it will be said that data can be transmitted at a stretch from CD. Then, the seek time of a pickup is reduced by rearranging the file read at the time of starting on a block level.

Live CD performs automatic recognition of the peripheral equipment of PC at the boot sequence.

Although the cache of the file required for starting of a desktop are predicted and carried out in the meantime, if there are few memories which can be used for cache, starting will become slow conversely. By this development, memory capacity is examining making it an effect show up at least because the predicted data carries out the cache of the compression image of cloop as it is.
