DMTCP Checkpoint/Restart of MPI Programs via Proxies
نویسنده
چکیده
MPI accomplishes portable, standardized message-passing between processes by exposing a standard API that hides the implementation of the underlying mechanism for message passing. Until now, checkpointing an MPI program required knowledge of these underlying mechanisms. Through the addition of a proxy, we demonstrate that MPI programs can be checkpointed and restarted regardless of the MPI implementation utilized. Further, proxies may enable MPI programs to be checkpointed on one MPI implementation, and restarted on another.

A Generic Checkpoint-Restart Mechanism for Virtual Machines
It is common today to deploy complex software inside a virtual machine (VM). Snapshots provide rapid deployment, migration between hosts, dependability (fault tolerance), and security (insulating a guest VM from the host). Yet, for each virtual machine, the code for snapshots is laboriously developed on a per-VM basis. This work demonstrates a generic checkpoint-restart mechanism for virtual ma...
متن کاملDMTCP: Bringing Checkpoint-Restart to Python
DMTCP (Distributed MultiThreaded CheckPointing) is a mature checkpoint-restart package. It operates in user-space without kernel privilege, and adapts to application-specific requirements through plugins. While DMTCP has been able to checkpoint Python and IPython "from the outside" for many years, a Python module has recently been created to support DMTCP. IPython support is included through a ...
متن کاملDMTCP: Scalable User-Level Transparent Checkpointing for Cluster Computations
As the size of clusters increases, failures are becoming increasingly frequent. Applications must become fault tolerant if they are to run for extended periods of time. We present DMTCP (Distributed MultiThreaded CheckPointing), the first user-level distributed checkpointing package not dependent on a specific message passing library. This contrasts with existing approaches either specific to l...
متن کاملFReD: Automated Debugging via Binary Search through a Process Lifetime
Reversible debuggers have been developed at least since 1970. Such a feature is useful when the cause of a bug is close in time to the bug manifestation. When the cause is far back in time, one resorts to setting appropriate breakpoints in the debugger and beginning a new debugging session. For these cases when the cause of a bug is far in time from its manifestation, bug diagnosis requires a s...
متن کاملAdapting the DMTCP Plugin Model for Checkpointing of Hardware Emulation
Checkpoint-restart is now a mature technology. It allows a user to save and later restore the state of a running process. The new plugin model for the upcoming version 3.0 of DMTCP (Distributed MultiThreaded Checkpointing) is described here. This plugin model allows a target application to disconnect from the hardware emulator at checkpoint time and then reconnect to a possibly different hardwa...
