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 …

Over the past two decades, rollback-recovery via checkpoint-restart has been used with
reasonable success for long-running applications, such as scientific workloads that take …

Communication induced checkpointing (CIC) allows processes in a distributed computation
to take independent checkpoints and to avoid the domino effect. This paper presents an …

Modern graphics processing units (GPUs) combine large amounts of parallel hardware with
fast context switching among thousands of active threads to achieve high performance …

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 …

Concurrent and Distributed Computing in Java addresses fundamental concepts in
concurrent computing with Java examples. The book consists of two parts. The first part …

Remote Memory Access (RMA) is an emerging mechanism for programming high-
performance computers and datacenters. However, little work exists on resilience schemes …

As the demand for cloud computing continues to increase, cloud service providers face the
daunting challenge to meet the negotiated SLA agreement, in terms of reliability and timely …

Scientists use advanced computing techniques to assist in answering the complex questions
at the forefront of discovery. The High Performance Computing (HPC) scientific applications …

A consistent checkpointing algorithm saves a consistent view of a distributed application's
state on stable storage. The traditional consistent checkpointing algorithms require different …
