Analysis of Dependencies of Checkpoint Cost and Checkpoint Interval of Fault Tolerant MPI Applications
Journal Title: International Journal on Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
In this paper, we have analysed i) the relationship between the checkpoint cost and the optimal checkpoint interval and ii) the relationship between the checkpoint cost and the number of processors (processes) and we have also determined the optimal number of processors (processes) required for executing the fault tolerant MPI applications. We have presented an experimental study in which, we have used an ptimal checkpoint restart model [1] with Weibull’s and xponential distributions to determine the optimal checkpoint interval. We have observed that, the optimal checkpoint ntervals obtained using Weibull’s distribution, produce minimal average completion time; as compared with the optimal checkpoint intervals obtained using Exponential distribution. The optimal checkpoint interval is approximately directly proportional to the checkpoint cost and inversely proportional to shape parameter. The study indicates that, the checkpoint cost of MPI applications increases with the number of processors (processes) used for execution. We have etermined the optimal number of processes (processors) required to execute the MPI applications considered in this paper, as 4.
