In today’s high performance computing practice, fail-stop failures are often tolerated by checkpointing. While checkpointing is a very general technique and can often be applied...
Today’s largest High Performance Computing (HPC) systems exceed one Petaflops (1015 floating point operations per second) and exascale systems are projected within seven years...
