Abstract

Checkpointing techniques have been used to secure sequential and parallel programs for many years. In this article, we show how checkpointing techniques can be used in order to transform and execute for loops of sequential programs on a parallel machine, especially on a cluster or on a grid. This article also presents the implementation we have developed to valid the concept and some performance measurements.
