Performance Evaluation of Consistent Recovery Protocols Using MPICH-GF

This paper presents an implementation of several consistent protocols at the abstract device level and their performance comparison. We have performed experiments using three NAS Parallel Benchmark applications with class C datasets on state of the art equipment. The interesting result is that causal message logging protocol has the most expensive recovery cost with communication intensive applications since it su ers from concentrated overload of simultaneous message replaying. Receiver-based optimistic message logging has the least recovery cost with drawback of extensive disk access overhead in failure-free executions. Coordinated checkpointing seems the most practical choice among them.
