APPLICATION MIGRATION IN A PROCESS VIRTUAL MACHINE ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A mechanism for migrating an application in a process virtual machine environment. A method includes pausing execution of an application in a source process virtual machine (PVM). The method also includes recording a state of the source PVM at a time of the pausing of the execution of the application. The method further includes copying the recorded state of the source PVM into a destination PVM, wherein the destination PVM resumes the execution of the application using the recorded state.

1. A method, comprising:
pausing, by a processing device, an execution of an application in a source process virtual machine (PVM) among a plurality of PVMs; recording, by the processing device, a state of the source PVM at a time of the pausing of the execution of the application; selecting, by the processing device, a destination PVM among the plurality of PVMs in view of an availability of amount of utilization of each of the plurality of PVMs; and copying, by the processing device, the recorded state of the source PVM into the selected destination PVM, wherein the selected destination PVM resumes the execution of the application using the recorded state.
