This survey covers rollback-recovery techniques that do not require special language
constructs. In the first part of the survey we classify rollback-recovery protocols into …

As reported by many recent studies, the mean time between failures of future post-petascale
supercomputers is likely to reduce, compared to the current situation. The most popular fault …

A classical way to determine consistent snapshots consists in using Chandy-Lamport's
algorithm. This algorithm relies on specific control messages that allow processes to …

Mobile computing raises many new issues, such as lack of stable storage, low bandwidth of
wireless channels, high mobility and limited battery life. These issues make traditional …

Mobile distributed systems raise new issues such as mobility, low bandwidth of wireless
channels, disconnections, limited battery power and lack of reliable stable storage on mobile …

This paper presents an index-based checkpointing algorithm for distributed systems with the
aim of reducing the total number of checkpoints while ensuring that each checkpoint …

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 …

Rollback-Dependency Trackability (RDT) is a property that states that all rollback
dependencies between local checkpoints are on-line trackable by using a transitive …

A global checkpoint is a set of local checkpoints, one per process. The traditional
consistency criterion for global checkpoints states that a global checkpoint is consistent if it …
