One Line Summary

Issues blocking advanced and general usage of checkpoint/restart in desktop/non-HPC environments.

Abstract

Traditionally checkpoint and restart of system and application
containers have been largely utilized in the High Performance Computing (HPC) field where specialized limitations on checkpoint/restart implementations were often acceptable. This talk discusses the limits of the checkpoint/restart solution proposed for mainline and relates those limits to typical desktop (non-HPC) userspace environments. The talk will conclude with issues blocking more advanced and general usage of checkpoint/restart with the intent of leading into fruitful discussion at the checkpoint/restart BoF/miniconf.
