Abstract
Various embodiments set forth techniques for taking a snapshot of virtual memory of a virtual machine. One technique includes allocating, in a persistent memory, one or more blocks associated with a virtual memory; detecting a write request associated with a first portion of the virtual memory; in response to detecting the write request associated with the first portion, prioritizing the first portion; based on the prioritizing, copying the first portion into the one or more blocks in the persistent memory ahead of a second portion of the virtual memory; and after copying the first portion: applying the write request to the first portion; and copying the second portion into the one or more blocks in the persistent memory.
