A consistent snapshot of a large main memory knowledge base is saved to persistent storage without blocking the application for the duration of serializing and writing the knowledge base. Taking the snapshot comprises bringing the knowledge base to a consistent state (in a multithreaded application), using virtual memory facilities to obtain a copy-on-write copy of the knowledge base in memory, and using a separate thread or process to serialize the copy-on-write copy to persistent storage. |
