SPBC: Leveraging the Characteristics of MPI HPC Applications for Scalable Checkpointing

André Schiper, Thomas Ropars

The high failure rate expected for future supercomputers requires the design of new fault tolerant solutions. Most checkpointing protocols are designed to work with any message-passing application but suffer from scalability issues at extreme scale. We tak ...
