Abstract:
Methods are provided. A method includes capturing a snapshot of an offload process being executed by one or more many-core processors. The offload process is in signal communication with a host process being executed by a host processor. At least the offload is in signal communication with a monitoring process. The method further includes terminating the offload process on the one or more many-core processors, by the monitor process responsive to a communication between the monitor process and the offload processing being disrupted. The snapshot includes a respective predetermined minimum set of information required to restore a same state of the process as when the snapshot was taken.
