A computer system includes a software virtual machine (such as Java) for running one or more applications. An object is provided that is responsive to a call from an application for placing the virtual machine and application into a state of suspension. This involves interrupting all current threads, and recording the state of the components of the virtual machine, including heap, threads, and stack, into a serialization data structure. Subsequently the serialization data structure can be invoked to resume the virtual machine and application from the state of suspension. Note that many virtual machines can be cloned from the single stored data structure. One benefit of this approach is that a new virtual machine can effectively be created in an already initialized state.

A hardware trace unit is integrated into a computer system that has a main memory. The trace unit includes registers that contain information defining a location in main memory, and has an input connection. This is used to eavesdrop on communications in the computer system, thereby obtaining information about the state and/or operation of the system. A trigger mechanism then compares the information received against one or more trigger conditions, such as whether a particular event has occurred. Responsive to the trigger conditions being satisfied, the trace unit generates an output record containing diagnostic information. This is sent for storage in the main memory of the computer at the location defined in the registers.
