Checkpointing Aided Parallel Execution Model and Analysis

Abstract. Checkpointing techniques are usually used to secure the execution of sequential and parallel programs. However, they can also be used in order to generate automatically a parallel code from a sequential program, these techniques permitted to any program being executed on any kind of ditributed parallel system. This article presents an analysis and a modelisation of an innovative technique -- CAPE -- which stands for Checkpointing Aided Parallel Execution. The presented model provides some hints to determine the optimal number of processors to run such a parallel code on a distributed system.
