Heterogeneous computing opens up new challenges and opportunities in fields such as parallel and distributed processing, design of algorithms for applications, scheduling of parallel tasks, interconnection network technology and support for reliable distributed heterogeneous computing. A trend of supporting fault-tolerance in distributed computing systems is to incorporate fault-tolerance into applications at low cost, in terms of both run time performance and programming effort required to construct reliable application software. We present an approach for developing efficient reliable distributed applications for heterogeneous computing systems. We propose a library prototype, called H-Libra, to support fault-tolerance in heterogeneous systems with low run-time cost. Fault-tolerance is based on distributed consistent checkpointing and rollback-recovery integrated with a user-level network communication protocol. By employing novel mechanisms, minimum communication overhead is involved for taking a consistent distributed checkpoint and catching messages in transit during a checkpoint. By providing fault-tolerance transparency and a simple, easy to use high-level message-passing interface, H-Libra simplifies the development of reliable heterogeneous distributed applications.
