Abstract

Writing applications capable of executing efficiently in distributed systems is extremely difficult and tedious for inexperienced users. The resources may be heterogeneous, non-dedicated, and offered without any performance or availability guarantees. Systems capable of adapting the execution of an application to these characteristics are essential. The EasyGrid Application Management System (AMS) transforms cluster-based MPI applications into autonomic ones capable executing robustly and efficiently in distributed environments. This work describes a strategy to endow these autonomic MPI applications with the property of self-healing and thus be capable of withstanding multiple simultaneous crash faults of processes and/or processors. The extremely low intrusion cost of the proposed hybrid solution might now facilitate acceptance of fault tolerance techniques in large scale high performance applications.
