Abstract

Communication induced checkpointing (CIC) allows processes in a distributed computation to take independent checkpoints and to avoid the domino effect. This paper presents an analysis of CIC protocols based on a prototype implementation and validated simulations. Our result inidcate that there is sufficient evidence to suspect that much of the conventional wisdom about these protocols is questionable.
