Method and apparatus to facilitate recovering a thread from a checkpoint

摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates recovering thread from checkpoint. During operation, receives an invocation program method at interpreter. The interpreter determines if is operating in restoration mode. If so, initializes stack for current thread. Next, creates frame method, and restores local values parameters into also bytecode index to identify currently being executed within method. Note can save significant amount programmer time by making use existing thread-creation framework perform recovery functions checkpointing purposes.
