The more I think about this (and experiment) the more I think that process hibernation is quite feasible in Genode (assuming reconstruction of state in dependent services) and much easier than in a traditional UNIX based systems where process state is thrown around and difficult to track/get to without kernel help. Being able to serialize processes (and identify all state belonging to a process) could be a real differentiator for Genode in the long run. Such a capability would have direct relevance to scalability and future storage class memories.
thanks for sharing your thoughts! Its good that the direction we are moving (i.e., externalizing the state from the actual components) will be beneficial in this respect.
