Abstract

According to an aspect, a computer-implemented method includes operating a program on a virtual machine on a first device having a local cache memory. Based on a determination that an epoch timer has not expired, aspects include writing one or more updates to the local cache memory and transmitting evicted items from the local cache memory to a shared memory device that is separate from the first device. Based on a determination that an epoch timer has expired, aspects include flushing the local cache memory to the shared memory device, transmitting a virtual CPU state of the virtual machine to the shared memory device, and resetting the epoch timer.
