Abstract

This paper presents a quick operating system kernel rejuvenation technique based on the integrated management of the main memory and a file system on non-volatile (NV) memory. The proposed technique independently takes and restores the checkpoints of the kernel and processes in order to accelerate the kernel rejuvenation. We implemented its prototype in Linux, and performed evaluation experiments on a system emulator. The results show the significant reduction of the time required for kernel rejuvenation.
