DEVICE AND METHOD ARRANGED TO SUPPORT EXECUTION OF A BOOTING PROCESS

The present invention is directed to a device and method, both arranged to support execution of a booting process. A requested data block processing unit of the device is configured to generate, during the booting process, a requested data block set, wherein each entry of the requested data block set comprises information on a data block, requested from a storage during the booting process. A pre-fetching unit of the device is configured, during the booting process, to pre-fetch, for each entry of a data block set, from the storage a data block, information on which is stored in the entry of the data block set, wherein each entry of the requested data block set comprises information on a data block, requested from the storage during a previously executed booting process. Further, the present invention relates to a correspondingly arranged computer program 10 product and to a correspondingly arranged computer-readable medium. 本发明涉及种用于支持执行引导进程的设备及方法。所述设备的被请求数据块处理单元用于在所述引导进程中生成被请求数据块集，其中，所述被请求数据块集的每个条目包括所述引导进程中被
