Otherworld: giving applications a chance to survive OS kernel crashes
Alex Depoutovitch, Michael Stumm · TSpace (University of Toronto) · 2008
In this paper, we present a mechanism that allows applications to survive operating system kernel crashes and continue functioning with no application data loss after a system reboot. The proposed mechanism introduces no run-time overhead and can be implemented in a commodity operating system, such as Linux. We demonstrate the feasibility of our mechanism on two example applications: a JOE text editor and a MySQL database server. 1
