Abstract

In at least one embodiment, if the pre-start level has the value empty container, the computer creates a container within the framework of the pre-start but does not load any application into the container. If the pre-start level has the value application, the computer creates a respective container within the framework of the pre-start for each application. If the pre-start level has a higher value, the computer determines within the framework of the pre-start a degree of grouping for the applications assigned to the respective pre-started unit, and groups the applications in accordance with the degree of grouping determined into at least one container group. Within the framework of the processing of the complex tasks, the computer terminates on switching from one application to another application, the application still being executed only if the application involves an application not able to be suspended.
