Abstract
Techniques for achieving improved checkpointing are disclosed. A library that has been implemented in a process is accessed. This library facilitates checkpoint-and-resume functionality to enable the process to checkpoint itself. Tags are used to annotate code of the process. The tags define which data of the process is to be saved in an event in which the process terminates in an unexpected manner. The tags define a block within the code and define the data that is to be saved. After the data has been saved, the process terminates unexpectedly. The process restarts from its beginning state and is progressed through its code. This progression includes skipping code for which data was previously saved. The process continues to progress and to skip through the code until reaching the defined block. At that point, the process resumes at the defined block, such that the process resumes at a user-defined location.
