Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that ensure high availability of such an architecture hosted on commodity platforms. One method includes initializing, by an operating system, execution of a process by the programmable circuit, the process including a firmware environment representing a virtual computing system, the process further including one or more workloads to be executed within the process. The method also includes allocating a portion of the memory for use by the process, the portion of memory including a plurality of memory segments, and generating a plurality of area descriptors associated with the plurality of memory segments, each of the area descriptors defining a location and length of a corresponding memory segment. The method includes quiescing execution of the process and capturing contents of the portion of memory and the plurality of area descriptors associated with the process.
