Methods, systems, and computer readable media for emulating a workload processor using checkpoint data

A system for emulating a workload processor using checkpoint data, the method comprising:

• a checkpoint database configured for storing checkpoint data including outputs of a processor at predetermined checkpoints in performing a first task;
• an emulated first workload processor configured for:
• receiving input data relating to the first task;
• accessing the checkpoint database using the input data;
• extracting, from the checkpoint database, checkpoint data corresponding to the input data;
• and
• outputting the extracted checkpoint data or data derived from the checkpoint data to at least one real or emulated second workload processor that is performing a second task.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor of at least one computer cause the at least one computer to perform steps comprising:

• storing, in a checkpoint database, checkpoint data including outputs of a processor at predetermined checkpoints in performing a first task;
• receiving, at an emulated first workload processor, input data relating to the first task;
• accessing, by the emulated first workload processor and using the input data, the checkpoint database;
• extracting, by the emulated first workload processor and from the checkpoint database, checkpoint data corresponding to the input data;
• and
• outputting, by the emulated first workload processor, the extracted checkpoint data to at least one real or emulated second workload processor that is performing a second task.
