Today, soft errors are one of the major design technology challenges at and beyond the
22nm technology nodes. This article introduces the soft error problem from the perspective …

Power management is one of the key research challenges on the path to exascale.
Supercomputers today are designed to be worst-case power provisioned, leading to two …

The growth in the number of computational resources used by high-performance computing
(HPC) systems leads to an increase in failure rates. Fault-tolerant techniques will become …

Motivation Scientists increasingly rely on intelligent information systems to help them in their
daily tasks, in particular for managing research objects, like publications or datasets. The …

The user-level failure mitigation (ULFM) interface has been proposed to provide fault-
tolerant semantics in the Message Passing Interface (MPI). Previous work presented …

Cloud providers can rent their spare computing capacity at substantial discounts, reclaiming
it whenever there is a more profitable higher-priority request-a business model well known …

Scaling supercomputers comes with an increase in failure rates due to the increasing
number of hardware components. In standard practice, applications are made resilient …

The resilience approach generally used in high-performance computing (HPC) relies on
coordinated checkpoint/restart, a global rollback of all the processes that are running the …

Extreme scale parallel computing systems will have tens of thousands of optionally
accelerator-equiped nodes with hundreds of cores each, as well as deep memory …

Checkpoint/Restart (C/R) has been widely deployed in numerous HPC systems, Clouds,
and industrial data centers, which are typically operated by system engineers. Nevertheless …
