Abstract
LIPS (LInear Persistency Stream), a concise, generic and efficient C++ persistency mechanism is presented. It is used in the CASTLE HW/SW codesign system to partition a single large compiler into multiple small communicating programs. With very few source code changes LIPS easily adds persistency at any class hierarchy level. It supports static members, templates, manual optimization and automatic error diagnosis. A comparison to other approaches shows that programs using LIPS require 70% less code, 7% less runtime and 7% less disk space for the persistent store.
