The demand for more computational power in science and engineering has spurred the design and deployment of ever-growing cluster systems. Even though the individual components use...
The productivity of HPC system is determined not only by their performance, but also by their reliability. The conventional method to limit the impact of failures is checkpointing...
There has recently been increasing interests in using system virtualization to improve the dependability of HPC cluster systems. However, it is not cost-free and may come with som...

PC-clusters with high performance/cost ratio have been one of the typical platforms for high performance computing. To lower costs, Gigabit Ethernet is often used for intercommuni...
Fault tolerant distributed protocols typically utilize a homogeneous fault model, either fail-crash or fail-Byzantine, where all processors are assumed to fail in the same manner....
