One Line Summary

distributed checkpoint restart protocols

Abstract

Scaling up the single application checkpoint/restart to extend it to parallel applications running across distributed resources is a delicate operation, one that can easily incur a significant, and certainly undesirable performance impact. From coordination between distributed processes, to ensuring no message has been lost or duplicated, several checkpoint/restart challenges are addressed and detailed. The talk covers in details different distributed checkpoint/restart protocols, and gives details about ongoing efforts to incorporate and optimize support for checkpoint/restart into an existing MPI implementation, Open MPI.
