“In contrast the fastest production Linux releases
today are in the 20-25 second range.

embedded and designed specifically for the Freescale Semiconductor

not to say they can’t get the same performance on other
architectures, it’s that is the hardware on which the first 1
second boot is being demonstrated.”
