The fundamental concept of checkpoint/restore is elegant: capture a
process’s state and resurrect it later, perhaps elsewhere. Checkpointing
meticulously records a process’s memory, open files, CPU state, and more into a
snapshot. Restoration then reconstructs the process from this state. This
established technique faces new challenges with GPU-accelerated applications,
where low-latency restoration is crucial for
fault
tolerance, live migration, and
fast startups. Recently, the restore process for AMD GPUs has been redesigned to
eliminate substantial bottlenecks.

Accessibility features and the work that goes into developing those features
often tend to be overlooked and are poorly understood by all but the people who actually
depend on such features. At Fedora’s annual developer conference, Flock, Lukáš Tyrychtr sought to
improve understanding and raise awareness about accessibility with his session on accessibility
barriers and screen-reader functionality in GNOME. His talk provided rare insight
into the world of using and developing open-source software for visually-impaired
users—including landing important accessibility improvements in
the latest GNOME release.
