ISBN 10: 3319209426 / ISBN 13: 9783319209425

Edité par Springer International Publishing AG, Cham, 2015

Hardcover. 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 presents a comprehensive overview of fault tolerance techniques for high-performance computing (HPC). Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9783319209425
