Large applications executing on Grid or cluster architectures consisting of hundreds or thousands of computational nodes create problems with respect to reliability. The source of the problems are node failures and the need for dynamic configuration over extensive run-time. This paper presents two fault-tolerance mechanisms called theft induced checkpointing and systematic event logging. These are...
Fault tolerance protocols play an important role in today long runtime scientific parallel applications because the probability of failure may be important due to the number of unreliable components involved during simulation. In this paper we present our approach and preliminary results about a new checkpoint/recovery protocol based on a coordinated scheme. This protocol is highly coupled to the...
In this paper a new checkpoint/recovery protocol called theft-induced checkpointing is defined for dataflow computations in large heterogeneous environments. The protocol is especially useful in massively parallel multi-threaded computations as found in cluster or grid computing and utilizes the principle of work-stealing to distribute work. By basing the state of executions on a macro dataflow graph,...
