Evaluations of domino-free communication-induced checkpointing protocols
We give a detailed analysis of communication-induced checkpointing protocols that are free of domino effect. We investigate the validity of a common intuition in the literature and demonstrate that there is no optimal on-line domino-free protocol in terms of the number of forced checkpoints. Formal proofs on comparing existing protocols in the literature are given. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
