Supercomputing systems today often come in the form of large numbers of commodity
systems linked together into a computing cluster. These systems, like any distributed system …

We present a new approach to fault tolerance for High Performance Computing system. Our
approach is based on a careful adaptation of the Algorithm-Based Fault Tolerance …

Supercomputers have seen an exponential increase in their size in the last two decades.
Such a high growth rate is expected to take us to exascale in the timeframe 2018-2022. But …

Fault-Tolerant Parallel Computation presents recent advances in algorithmic ways of
introducing fault-tolerance in multiprocessors under the constraint of preserving efficiency …

One of the most sought after software innovation of this decade is the construction of
systems using off-the-shelf-workstations that actually deliver and even surpass, the power …

As supercomputers and clusters increase in size and complexity, system failures are
inevitable. Different hardware components (such as memory, disk, or network) of such …

The importance of adapting networks of workstations for use as parallel processing
platforms is well established. However current solutions do not always address important …

R large, massively-parallel computing engines by interconnecting many conventional
processing elements to form an integrated supersystem. 1-3 The rapid expansion in very …

In the next five years, the number of processors in high-end systems for scientific computing
is expected to rise to tens and even hundreds of thousands. For example, the IBM …

Summary form only given. As parallel machines grow larger, the mean time between failure
shrinks. With the planned machines of near future, therefore, fault tolerance will become an …
