3 Computation ideas

    +
  • Program - stored instructions for execution by computer. +
    • + +
  • Process - Currently running program. +
      +
    • Process is self contained. Has a full copy of program code and +every dependent library. + +
        +
      • Memory used by processes is content addressed/deduplicated at +low level in the system. +
        • + +
      • This allows: +
          +
        • Upgrading software installed in the system without breaking +already running processes. +
          • + +
        • Easier migration of running processes between physical +computers. +
          • + +
        • Possibility to suspend/resume arbitrary processes to permament +storage. +
          • + +
        • Possibility checkpoint/revert running process. +
          • + +
        • Possibility to clone/branch running process. +
