I'm interested, but doubt that I have enough of the right experience
to be ready.
On your list of development tasks:
Runtime system
Implement a mechanism where the client can ask apps to checkpoint.
Something to think about: Which versions of which operating systems
allow requesting memory blocks of specified sizes at specified locations?
This would make it easier to add checkpoints to programs that don't have
them by copying all of the program's memory to a file, and restarting from
checkpoints by copying it back to the same locations in memory. Extra
disk space required for such checkpoints, but at least it's better than
not having checkpoints at all.
For 64-bit Windows, this needs to be evaluated separately for 32-bit
programs and 64-bit programs.
