Abstract:
In one embodiment a method for migrating a workload from one processing resource to a second processing resource of a computing platform is disclosed. The method can include a command to migrate a workload that is processing and the process can be interrupted and some memory processes can be frozen in response to the migration command. An index table can be created that identifies memory locations that determined where the process was when it is interrupted. Table data, pinned page data, and non-private process data can be sent to the second processing resource. Contained in this data can be restart type data. The second resource or target resource can utilize this data to restart the process without the requirement of bulk data transfers providing an efficient migration process. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
