Something that the old DEC took a few stabs at was the idea of a
"checkpoint" feature where a process or a series of processes could be
put in a quiesced state. This would page out the process or processes
into the swap space, allow a hardware shutdown, and after a reboot allow
the restart of the checkpointed process(es).
(Not as fun as SMP but fairly slick)
