On scheduling the checkpoints of exascale applications
Checkpointing is one of the tools used to provide resilience to applications run on failure-prone platforms. It is usually claimed that checkpoints should occur periodically, as such a policy is optimal. However, most of the existing proofs rely on approximations. One such assumption is that the probability that a fault occurs during the execution of an application is very small, an assumption that is no longer valid in the context of exascale platforms. We have begun studying this problem in a fully general context. We have established that, when failures follow a Poisson law, the periodic checkpointing policy is optimal. We have also showed an unexpected result: in some cases, when the platform is sufficiently large, the checkpointing costs sufficiently expensive, or the failures frequent enough, one should limit the application parallelism and duplicate tasks, rather than fully parallelize the application on the whole platform.
