[coyotos-dev] Impact of checkpointing on mobile systems

[Pierre THIERRY]

It just occurred to me that checkpointing should make impossible something
that is quite vluable on any mobile system when it operates on battery,
that is shutting off the disk when it's not needed.

When I read some PDF in the train, for example, while I only use the PDF
viewer, I think Linux is clever enough to save power as long as it
doesn't need to page in or out any process.

Do you know how current systems compare on this and if checkpointing
would really be an issue?

Curiously,
Pierre
