What is EPCKPT?
EPCKPT is a checkpoint/restart utility built into the Linux kernel. Checkpointing is the ability to save an image of the state of a process (or group of processes) at a certain point during its lifetime. Checkpoints are important to a wide range of applications. The most common uses for checkpointing are: * Fault-tolerance * Applications trace/Debugging * Rollback/Animated playback * Process migration
Our main interest right now is process migration. So, we optimized EPCKPT to make process' image the smaller possible, so migration costs would be low.
