    摘要: A process for lazy checkpointing is enhanced to reduce the number of read/write accesses to the checkpoint file and thereby speed up the checkpointing process. The process for restoring a state of a virtual machine (VM) running in a physical machine from a checkpoint file that is maintained in persistent storage includes the steps of detecting access to a memory page of the virtual machine that has not been read into physical memory of the VM from the checkpoint file, determining a storage block of the checkpoint file to which the accessed memory page maps, writing contents of the storage block in a buffer, and copying contents of a block of memory pages that includes the accessed memory page from the buffer to corresponding locations of the memory pages in the physical memory of the VM. The storage block of the checkpoint file may be compressed or uncompressed.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for saving and/or restoring state information for virtualized computing systems are described. An example apparatus includes a physical memory and a virtual machine monitor to: in response to a request to suspend operation of a virtual machine, place a trace on a memory page in the physical memory to detect at least one of a read access or a write access that occurs when state information of the virtual machine is saved in response to the request, the memory page associated with virtual memory hosted by the virtual machine, while the virtual machine continues to operate after the request, initiate storing of the virtual memory of the virtual machine, and in response to a trigger of the trace, store an indication that the memory page is an active memory page.

    摘要: A process for lazy checkpointing a virtual machine is enhanced to reduce the number of read/write accesses to the checkpoint file and thereby speed up the checkpointing process. The process for saving a state of a virtual machine running in a physical machine to a checkpoint file maintained in persistent storage includes the steps of copying contents of a block of memory pages, which may be compressed, into a staging buffer, determining after the copying if the buffer is full, and upon determining that the buffer is full, saving the buffer contents in a storage block of the checkpoint file.
