A higher order estimate of the optimum checkpoint interval for restart dumps
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines methods of approximating the optimum checkpoint restart strategy for minimizing application run time on a system exhibiting Poisson single component failures. Two different models will be developed and compared. We will begin with a simplified cost function that yields a first-order model. Then we will derive a more complete cost function and demonstrate a perturbation solution that provides accurate high order approximations to the optimum checkpoint interval. ©

A Model for Predicting the Optimum Checkpoint Interval for Restart Dumps
As the run time of an application approaches the the mean time to interrupt (MTTI) for the system on which it is running, it becomes necessary to generate intermediate snapshots of the application’s run state, known as checkpoint files or restart dumps. In the event of a system failure that halts program execution, these snapshots allow an application to resume computing from the most recently ...
متن کاملCheckpoint/restart in practice: When 'simple is better'
Efficient use of high-performance computing (HPC)installations critically relies on effective methods for fault tol-erance. The most commonly used method is checkpoint/restart,where an application writes periodic checkpoints of its stateto stable storage that it can restart from in the case of afailure. Despite the prevalence of checkpoint/restart, it is still notvery we...
متن کاملVirtual Machine Based Heterogeneous Checkpointing
Checkpointing an application is the act of saving the application’s state during its execution on stable storage so that if the application fails, it can be restarted from the last saved state, thereby avoiding loss of the work that was already done. A heterogeneous checkpoint/restart mechanism allows to restart an application from a saved state that was taken in a hardware architecture and/or ...
متن کاملApplication of stochastic programming for iron ore quality control
Stockpiling and blending play a major role in maintaining the quantity and quality of the raw materials fed into processing plants, especially the cement, iron ore and steel making, and coal-fired power generation industries that usually require a much uniformed feed. Due to the variable nature of such materials, they even come from the same source and the produced ores or concentrates are seld...
متن کاملAn Optimum Regression Model to Estimate Economic Values for Milk Yield, Milk Yield Persistency and Calving Interval in Dairy Cattle
Emphasis on milk yield (MY) as well as milk yield persistency (MYP) and calving interval (CI) is necessary to achieve more sustainable productionin dairy cattle. Therefore the main objective of this study was to find an optimum regression model to estimate economic values for MY, MYP and CI.Using a deterministic bio-economic model, seventyfiveproduction states differing mainly in MY, MYPand CIw...
