- Zusatztext
- This timely text presents a comprehensive overview of fault tolerance techniques for high-performance computing (HPC). The text opens with a detailed introduction to the concepts of checkpoint protocols and scheduling algorithms, prediction, replication, silent error detection and correction, together with some application-specific techniques such as ABFT. Emphasis is placed on analytical performance models. This is then followed by a review of general-purpose techniques, including several checkpoint and rollback recovery protocols. Relevant execution scenarios are also evaluated and compared through quantitative models. Features: provides a survey of resilience methods and performance models; examines the various sources for errors and faults in large-scale systems; reviews the spectrum of techniques that can be applied to design a fault-tolerant MPI; investigates different approaches to replication; discusses the challenge of energy consumption of fault-tolerance methods in extreme-scale systems.

- This timely text/reference presents a comprehensive overview of fault tolerance techniques for high-performance computing (HPC).The text opens with a detailed introduction to the concepts of checkpoint protocols and scheduling algorithms, prediction, replication, silent error detection and correction, together with some application-specific techniques such as algorithm-based fault tolerance. Emphasis is placed on analytical performance models. This is then followed by a review of general-purpose techniques, including several checkpoint and rollback recovery protocols. Relevant execution scenarios are also evaluated and compared through quantitative models.Topics and features: - Includes self-contained contributions from an international selection of preeminent experts Provides a survey of resilience methods and performance models Examines the various sources for errors and faults in largescale systems, detailing their characteristics, with a focus on modeling, detection and prediction Reviews the spectrum of techniques that can be applied to design a faulttolerant message passing interface Investigates different approaches to replication, comparing these to the traditional checkpointrecovery approach Discusses the challenge of energy consumption of faulttolerance methods in extremescale systems, proposing a methodology to estimate such energy consumption This authoritative volume is essential reading for all researchers and graduate students involved in high-performance computing.Dr. Thomas Herault is a Research Scientist in the Innovative Computing Laboratory (ICL) at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN, USA.
