Mapeamento sistemático de ferramentas que auxiliam na instrumentação de checkpoints em aplicações de computação de alto desempenho

Abstract

Checkpointing tools are used to save the state of an application, be it sequential or distributed. In recently years, emerged various checkpointing tools as alternatives to do local or global checkpoints, the last one specially in case of high performance computation. However, there isn't global knowledge about and how this tools can be used in applications, if they make use of local or global checkpoint, in which level, user, application or kernel the application works, if the application provides an automatic way to instrument checkpoints or even if the checkpoint algorithm that the tool implements is synchronous, assynchronous, almost syncrhonous. From this perspective, this work have as the objective the development of a systematic mapping about this tools, in order to clarify this points of interest.
