MPI has been ubiquitously deployed in flagship HPC systems aiming to accelerate distributed scientific applications running on tens of hundreds of processes and compute nodes. Maintaining the correctness and integrity of MPI application…

As we have entered Exascale computing, the faults in high-performance systems are expected to increase considerably. To compensate for a higher failure rate, the standard checkpoint/restart technique would need to create checkpoints at a…

Fault-tolerance has always been an important topic when it comes to running massively parallel programs at scale. Statistically, hardware and software failures are expected to occur more often on systems gathering millions of computing…

Faults in high-performance systems are expected to be very large in the current exascale computing era. To compensate for a higher failure rate, the standard checkpoint/restart technique would need to create checkpoints at a much higher…

Fault-tolerant distributed applications require mechanisms to recover data lost via a process failure. On modern cluster systems it is typically impractical to request replacement resources after such a failure. Therefore, applications have…

With the increasing size of HPC computations, faults are becoming more and more relevant in the HPC field. The MPI standard does not define the application behaviour after a fault, leaving the burden of fault management to the user, who…

Efficient utilization of today's high-performance computing (HPC) systems with complex hardware and software components requires that the HPC applications are designed to tolerate process failures at runtime. With low mean time to failure…

Scientific applications have long embraced the MPI as the environment of choice to execute on large distributed systems. The User-Level Failure Mitigation (ULFM) specification extends the MPI standard to address resilience and enable MPI…

Realistic simulations in engineering or in the materials sciences can consume enormous computing resources and thus require the use of massively parallel supercomputers. The probability of a failure increases both with the runtime and with…

Production MPI codes need checkpoint-restart (CPR) support. Clearly, checkpoint-restart libraries must be fault tolerant lest they open up a window of vulnerability for failures with byzantine outcomes. But, certain popular libraries that…

Fault tolerance overhead of high performance computing (HPC) applications is becoming critical to the efficient utilization of HPC systems at large scale. HPC applications typically tolerate fail-stop failures by checkpointing. Another…

Fault tolerance for the upcoming exascale generation has long been an area of active research. One of the components of a fault tolerance strategy is checkpointing. Petascale-level checkpointing is demonstrated through a new mechanism for…

It is commonly agreed that highly parallel software on Exascale computers will suffer from many more runtime failures due to the decreasing trend in the mean time to failures (MTTF). Therefore, it is not surprising that a lot of research is…

High-performance computing continues to increase its computing power and energy efficiency. However, energy consumption continues to rise and finding ways to limit and/or decrease it is a crucial point in current research. For…

Failure rates in high performance computers rapidly increase due to the growth in system size and complexity. Hence, failures became the norm rather than the exception. Different approaches on high performance computing (HPC) systems have…

In order to efficiently use the future generations of supercomputers, fault tolerance and power consumption are two of the prime challenges anticipated by the High Performance Computing (HPC) community. Checkpoint/Restart (CR) has been and…

The fault tolerance method currently used in High Performance Computing (HPC) is the rollback-recovery method by using checkpoints. This, like any other fault tolerance method, adds an additional energy consumption to that of the execution…

InfiniBand is widely used for low-latency, high-throughput cluster computing. Saving the state of the InfiniBand network as part of distributed checkpointing has been a long-standing challenge for researchers. Because of a lack of a…

Self-powered intermittent systems typically adopt runtime checkpointing as a means to accumulate computation progress across power cycles and recover system status from power failures. However, existing approaches based on the checkpointing…

Message logging protocols are enablers of local rollback, a more efficient alternative to global rollback, for fault tolerant MPI applications. Until now, message logging MPI implementations have incurred the overheads of a redesign and…
