Checkpoint system for accelerators/quantum computing functions-as-a-service

A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a job in a computing system that include access to an accelerator, the job including a CPU portion and an accelerator portion;
• submitting the accelerator portion to the accelerator by an orchestration engine;
• determining a delay associated with executing the accelerator portion by the accelerator by an orchestration engine;
• freeing resources associated with the CPU portion to a second job at least during the execution time by an orchestration engine;
• receiving results of the accelerator portion from the accelerator by an orchestration engine;
• and
• allocating resources to the job when resources in the computing system are available by the orchestration engine.
