blog.doubleword.ai/what-happens-when-you-checkpoint-a-cuda-process

so we're all talk no action

cool cool

nah not yet

so... anyone actually try this?

wait what's the diff

lol

nah we're just... borrowing it

so we're stealing their tech

fair

nah they won't tell us

wait what if we just... ask nvidia?

easier said than done

then figure out how to restore it

find the checkpoint file

so what's next

nah it's just... reverse engineering

this is... kinda fun

exactly

so we can see where cuda saves stuff

ohhh

a tool to trace system calls

wait what's strace

or just... strace it

yeah or gdb

with a hex editor?

rip open the nvidia driver

so how do we find the checkpoint

nah it's just optimization

because it's like... cheating

why?
