ElasticNotebook: Enabling Live Migration for Computational Notebooks

Summary: ElasticNotebook provides live migration of computational notebooks via transparent monitoring that records variable–cell dependencies and runtime/size metadata to enable platform‑independent checkpointing. A graph-optimization selects a minimal set of variables to transfer and an efficient reconstruction plan, yielding 85–99% faster migration/restoration with <2.5% runtime and <10% memory overhead.
