Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of techniques used to tolerate failures in high-performance distributed applications. We describe basic replication techniques, automatic rollback recovery and application-based fault tolerance. We present the challenges raised specifically by distributed, high performance computing and the performance overhead the fault tolerance mechanisms are likely to cost. Last, we give an example of a fault-tolerant algorithm that exploits specific properties of a recent algorithm.
