Abstract
A system and method for searching for and finding data across industrial time-series data is disclosed executing a series of instructions on a computer system. While executing a first instruction in the series of instructions, the virtual machine receives an interrupt signal. In response to receiving the interrupt signal, the virtual machine searches the series of instructions to identify a second instruction that is a safe point. The virtual machine replaces the second instruction in the series of instructions with one or more interrupt handler instructions that initiate an interrupt handler. The virtual machine resumes execution of the first instruction.
