== [http://criu.org CRIU], [http://dmtcp.sourceforge.net DMTCP], [https://ftg.lbl.gov/projects/CheckpointRestart BLCR] ==
== BLCR ==
Berkeley Lab Checkpoint/Restart (BLCR) is a part of the Scalable Systems Software Suite ,
developed by the Future Technologies Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab under SciDAC
funding from the United States Department of Energy. It is an Open Source, system-level
checkpointer designed with High Performance Computing (HPC) applications in mind: in particular
CPU and memory intensive batch-scheduled MPI jobs. BLCR is implemented as a GPL-licensed
loadable kernel module for Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels on the x86, x86_64, PPC/PPC64, ARM architectures, and a
small LGPL-licensed library.
== PinLIT / PinPlay ==
PinLIT (Pin-Long Instruction Trace) is a checkpointing tool built on top of Intel's proprietary [https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/pin-a-dynamic-binary-instrumentation-tool PIN binary instrumentation tool] described on page 48 of [https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~calder/papers/thesis-cristiano.pdf Cristiano Pereira's PhD thesis]. It records the processor's (big) architectural register state and all pages of memory that contain application and shared library code, optimizing size by only storing memory used during a desired interval.
[https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/program-recordreplay-toolkit PinPlay] or the Program Record/Replay Toolkit appears to be the successor of or new name for PinLIT.
Both tools appear primarily focused on reducing benchmark runtime on slow computer architecture simulators, leveraging sampling algorithms such as SimPoint.
== OpenVZ (in-kernel) ==
Legacy OpenVZ (RHEL4, RHEL5, RHEL6 based kernels) has in-kernel checkpoint/restore, sources can be found in kernel/cpt/.
== CKPT (in-kernel) ==
(In-kernel) [https://ckpt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page Linux Checkpoint/Restart] was a project from around 2008 to around 2010 to implement checkpoint/restart of Linux processes.
== CRIU, DMTCP, BLCR, OpenVZ comparison table ==
“looks\seems like yes/no” - i found only unproved message(s) saying “yes”/“no”
“not yet” - it is officially planned or i found no reasons, why it can’t be done.
