Abstract
An embodiment includes a low-latency mechanism for performing a checkpoint on a distributed application. More specifically, an embodiment of the invention includes processing a first application on a compute node, which is included in a cluster, to produce first computed data and then storing the first computed data in volatile memory included locally in the compute node; halting the processing of the first application, based on an initiated checkpoint, and storing first state data corresponding to the halted first application in the volatile memory; storing the first state information and the first computed data in non-volatile memory included locally in the compute node; and resuming processing of the halted first application and then continuing the processing the first application to produce second computed data while simultaneously pulling the first state information and the first computed data from the non-volatile memory to an input/output (IO) node.
