Abstract

A method for core dump for a terminated (e.g., 'crashed') application includes instantiating helper processes and performing a multi-threaded streaming of chunks of memory contents to respective helper processes. A set of backend storage resources of respective types is established to receive the core dump. Each helper process performs the following for the respective stream: (1) instantiating a set of writer threads for writing data to the respective different types of backend storage resources, (2) buffering the stream in a sequence-preserving manner, and (3) by each of the writer threads, independently reading buffered chunks and writing them to a respective backend storage resource with preservation of chunk identity to enable later reconstruction of complete memory contents. The time required to generate a core dump for a large memory-intensive application can be shortened, reducing application restart time and promoting application availability.
