September 29, 2016 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm PDT
Speaker: Prof. Yves Robert, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France
Title: Resilience is a Critical Issue for Large-scale Platform
Date: Monday, May 18, 2015
Time: 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Location: Harut Barsamian Colloquia Room (Engineering Hall 2430)
Host: Prof. Jean-Luc Gaudiot
Abstract: Resilience is a critical issue for large-scale platforms. This talk will survey fault-tolerant techniques for high-performance computing:
– Overview of failure types and typical probability distributions
– Brief discussion of application-specific techniques, such as ABFT
– The standard general-purpose technique, checkpoint and rollback recovery
– Recent extensions with replication, prediction and silent error detection
– Relevant execution scenarios, evaluated and compared through quantitative models.
The talk includes several illustrative examples and targets a general audience.
