Everything about Application checkpointing

Technique for inserting fault tolerance into computing systems

Checkpointing is a technique that provides fault tolerance for computing systems. It involves saving a snapshot of an application's state, so that it can restart from that point in case of failure. This is particularly important for long-running applications that are executed in failure-prone computing systems. Wikipedia →
