Abstract
Live migration of a hardware accelerated application may be orchestrated by cloud services to transfer the application from a source server to a destination server. The live migration may be triggered by probe circuitry that monitors quality of service metrics for migration conditions at the source server. When live migration is initiated by the cloud services, a snapshot of all state information relevant to the application at the source server may be saved to network attached storage accessible by the destination server. Changes to said state information at the source server may be mirrored onto the network attached storage. The destination server may copy the snapshot and subsequent changes and run the application in parallel before taking complete control of the application. After a handshake operation between the source and destination servers, the application may be shut down at the source server.
