Memory Machine Batch

Memory Machine Batch (MMBatch) is a Application Program Interface used within a Cloud Service Provider's batch service that provides checkpoint and restore functionality when using Spot instances. It does this by capturing the entire running state of a Batch Job into a consistent image and restoring the Job on a new Compute Instance without losing any work progress. This plugin ensures high quality service at the Batch level by using low-cost, but unreliable Spot-based Compute Instances. We call this ability to more reliably use spot instances SpotSurfing. We offer SpotSurfing capability for select CPU Instances and in GPU Instances.
