Executing parallel applications across distributed networks introduces the problem of fault tolerance. A viable solution for fault tolerance must keep overhead manageable and not compromise the high performance objective of parallel processing. In this paper, we explore two options for achieving fault tolerance for a common class of parallel applications, single-program-multiple-data (SPMD). We quantitatively compare checkpoint-recovery and wide-area replication as a means of achieving fault tolerance. The experimental results obtained for a canonical SPMD application suggest that checkpoint-recovery may be preferable for small problems if local parallel disks are available, but wide-area replication outperforms checkpoint-recovery for larger-grain problems, precisely the problems most suited for the wide-area network environment. The results also show that it possible to accurately model and predict the overheads of the two methods
