Overview

serel is software that helps computers boot faster.

serel adds synchronisation and integrity-checking to the operating system "service startup" phase, allowing a computer's services to start in parallel. Without parallelism, "service startup" is typically the most time-consuming part of the boot process.

Features

visualisation of boot services, dependencies and timings
designed to support a wide variety of operating systems
fast and lightweight runtime operation
xml/rdf description of services and dependencies
dependency information for 50+ common services
seamless management of services which have no dependency information

Benefits

faster boot!
visualisation creates transparency by linking boot-time to a critical path of dependencies
