Portability of virtual machine checkpoints without affecting the performance of the application

A system for improving portability of virtual machine checkpoints without affecting system performance, the system comprising:

• a source computing system comprising:
• a memory, and
• a processor;
• wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the source computing system to:
• determine, based on a runtime of the application via a virtual machine, one or more units of the application to compile as one or more non-portable units of the application;
• designate, as a non-entrant compiled code, the one or more non-portable units of the application, wherein the designation prevents execution of the one or more non-portable units;
• decompile one or more stack frames associated with the one or more non-portable units of the application;
• and
• send, to a destination computing system, a checkpoint for the application.

A non-transitory computer readable medium for use on a computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for improving portability of virtual machine checkpoints without affecting system performance, the instructions comprising:

• determining, by a source computing system having a processor, based on a runtime of an application via a virtual machine, one or more units of the application to compile as one or more non-portable units of the application;
• designating, as a non-entrant compiled code, the one or more non-portable units of the application, wherein the designation prevents execution of the one or more non-portable units;
• decompiling one or more stack frames associated with the one or more non-portable units of the application;
• sending, by the source computing system to a destination computing system, a checkpoint for the application;
• and
• restoring, by the destination computing system via the virtual machine, from the checkpoint for the application, the runtime of the application.
