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 …

Consistent global snapshots are important in many distributed applications. We prove the
exact conditions for an arbitrary checkpoint, or a set of checkpoints, to belong to a consistent …

This paper reports on the architecture and design of Starfish, an environment for executing
dynamic (and static) MPI-2 programs on a cluster of workstations. Starfish is unique in being …

Checkpointing algorithms are classified as synchronous and asynchronous in the literature.
In synchronous checkpointing, processes synchronize their checkpointing activities so that a …

There has been much research on checkpointing algorithms for parallel and distributed
systems; but surprisingly few implementations for uniprocessors, multiprocessors, and …

Fog computing provides computing, storage and communication resources at the edge of
the network, near the physical world. Subsequently, end devices nearing the physical world …

A useless checkpoint is a local checkpoint that cannot be part of a consistent global
checkpoint. This paper addresses the following problem. Given a set of processes that take …

The paper is an exploration of diskless checkpointing for distributed scientific computations.
With the widespread use of the" network of workstations"(NOW) platform for distributed …

Consistent global checkpoints have many uses in distributed computations. A central
question in applications that use consistent global checkpoints is to determine whether a …

A useless checkpoint is a local checkpoint that cannot be part of a consistent global
checkpoint. The paper addresses the following important problem. Given a set of processes …
