Methods are provided. A method for swapping-out an offload process from a coprocessor includes issuing a snapify_pause request from a host processor to the coprocessor to initiate a pausing of the offload process executing by the coprocessor and another process executing by the host processor using a plurality of locks. The offload process is previously offloaded from the host processor to the coprocessor. The method further includes issuing a snapify_capture request from the host processor to the coprocessor to initiate a local snapshot capture and saving of the local snapshot capture by the coprocessor. The method also includes issuing a snapify_wait request from the host processor to the coprocessor to wait for the local snapshot capture and the saving of the local snapshot capture to complete by the coprocessor.
