I am looking for examples of "traditional" operating systems (i.e. centralized
OSs) that allowed user processes to periodically checkpoint their state so
that, in case of a failure and subsequent recovery, they could be restarted
from the last checkpoint.  Names of such OSs or pointers to papers that might
contain this information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

< Vic
