Abstract The Young/Daly formula provides an approximation of the optimal checkpointing
period for a parallel application executing on a supercomputing platform. It was originally …

We present here a report produced by a workshop on 'Addressing failures in exascale
computing'held in Park City, Utah, 4–11 August 2012. The charter of this workshop was to …

This chapter provides an introduction to resilience methods. The emphasis is on
checkpointing, the de-facto standard technique for resilience in High Performance …

This paper provides an analysis of failures and their impact for Blue Waters, the Cray hybrid
(CPU/GPU) supercomputer at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The analysis …

The increasing amount of data that needs to be collected and analyzed requires large-scale
datacenter architectures that are naturally more susceptible to faults of single components …

With the growing complexity and scale of high performance computing (HPC) systems,
application performance variation has become a significant challenge in efficient and …

As large-scale systems evolve towards post-petascale computing, it is crucial to focus on
providing fault-tolerance strategies that aim to minimize fault's effects on applications. By far …

Authentication based on passwords is used largely in applications for computer security and
privacy. However, human actions such as choosing bad passwords and inputting passwords …

A large percentage of computing capacity in today's large high-performance computing
systems is wasted because of failures. Consequently current research is focusing on …

As the component count in supercomputing installations continues to increase, system
reliability is becoming one of the major issues in designing HPC systems. These issues will …
