Automatic Incremental State Saving

µsik — A Micro-Kernel for Parallel/Distributed Simulation Systems

“…One can speculate that existence of a comprehensive framework, like our micro-kernel, could have made implementations easier to develop and more readily available. The same can be said for a variety of other optimizations, such as incremental state saving [9,10] and reverse computation [11].…”

Vivio - A System for Creating Interactive Reversible E-Learning Animations for the WWW

“…Vivio animations step from one frame to another, with the execution of many "instructions" in-between frames. Consequently, Vivio uses an incremental state saving approach where the difference in program state is saved every n frames [7]. As multiple changes to an object can occur between state saves, less state is saved overall.…”
