Systems and methods for maintaining virtual component checkpoints on an offload device

Abstract:

Generally described, aspects of the present disclosure relate to offload device virtual component checkpointing for fast recovery from virtual component software crashes by storing virtual component state configuration information and input/output (I/O) request identification information in non-volatile memory of a physical computing device physically separate from the offload device. In the event of a software crash of a virtual component, the crashed virtual component may be rebooted and reconfigured in accordance with the virtual component state configuration information and I/O request identification information stored in the non-volatile memory of the physical computing device.
