One Line Summary

How checkpoints can speed up result generation, how CRIU impacts measurements of application performance, and how to mitigate those impacts.

Abstract

Detailed simulations are slow; checkpointing can help, but ideally with few negative side effects. Discuss observed side effects that impact performance analysis, including a distorted kernel/user instruction ratio after checkpoint restore and reduced memory sharing. Discuss anticipated issues regarding perf events and tracing subsystems. Discuss existing and potential solutions to the observed and anticipated issues.
