Serel - Improves boot time

'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.

Serel's visualisation features let you see inside the boot process. When a computer boots with serel, it generates a log file that includes the services that started, how long each one ran, and how they depend on one another at boot-time. "The software includes dependency information for a wide range of common services.
