Abstract
Methods and systems for efficient boot from a connected device are described. In an embodiment, a method for efficient boot from a connected device may include initializing a base processor device for boot and configuration of an information handling system from a connected device. The method may also include initializing at least one secondary processor for parallel processing of one or more initialization functions. Additionally, the method may include offloading one or more initialization functions to the one or more secondary processors in response to a predetermined trigger event.
