Abstract

Embodiments relate to systems, devices, and computer-implemented methods for creating a loadable image and using the loadable image for restarting an application. The method can include starting, by a computing device, initialization of the application, and identifying upon initialization of the application, a plurality of resources associated with the application. The method can further include determining checkpoints associated with the plurality of resources. In addition, the method can include creating an optimized image corresponding to the application based on the checkpoints and an optimization of an application image, and storing the optimized image in a memory. Further, the method can include restarting the application by replacing a current process image with a new process image, and updating the new process image with one or more elements of the optimized image.
