Secure migratable architecture having high availability

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• initializing, by an operating system executing natively on a computing system, execution of a process by a programmable circuit of the computing system, the process including a firmware environment representing a virtual computing system having a second computing architecture different from a first computing architecture of the computing system on which the operating system and process reside, the process further including one or more workloads to be executed within the process;
• allocating a portion of the memory for use by the process, the portion of memory including a plurality of memory segments;
• generating a plurality of area descriptors associated with the plurality of memory segments, each of the area descriptors defining a location and length of a corresponding memory segment and used by the virtual computing system to access the portion of the memory for execution of the one or more workloads;
• quiescing execution of the process;
• and
• capturing contents of the portion of memory and the plurality of area descriptors associated with the quiesced process.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

• initializing, by an operating system executing natively on the computing system, execution of a process by the programmable circuit, the process including a firmware environment representing a virtual computing system having a second computing architecture different from a first computing architecture of a computing system on which the operating system and process reside, the process further including one or more workloads to be executed within the process;
• allocating a portion of the memory for use by the process, the portion of memory including a plurality of memory segments;
• generating a plurality of area descriptors associated with the plurality of memory segments, each of the area descriptors defining a location and length of a corresponding memory segment and used by the virtual computing system to access the portion of the memory for execution of the one or more workloads;
• quiescing execution of the process;
• capturing contents of the portion of memory and the plurality of area descriptors associated with the quiesced process;
• and
• transferring a binary including the process and the state of the portion of memory associated with the quiesced process to a second location.
