 +Some quotes from the article ...  //CRAC provides the ability to save and restore the state of CUDA by first using CUDA-specific save/restore operations, and then delegating to a traditional checkpoint-restart package.... In the end, the support of DMTCP for process virtualization and plugins makes it easier to add modular support for CUDA without having to excessively understand details of the internals of the host checkpointing package.//  This plugin will likely only work with recent gpu models.
