Checkpoint Time Arrangement Rotation in Hybrid State Saving with a Limited Number of Periodical Checkpoints
This paper discusses hybrid state saving for applications in which processes should create checkpoints at constant intervals and can hold a finite number of checkpoints. We propose,a reclamation technique for checkpoint space, that provides effective checkpoint time arrangements for a rollback distance distribution. Numerical examples show that when we cannot use the optimal checkpoint interval due to the system requirements, the proposed technique can achieve lower expected overhead compared to the conventional technique without considering the form of the rollback distance distribution.
