Title: An overview of fault-tolerant techniques for high-performance computing

Abstract: Resilience is a critical issue for large-scale platforms. This talk will provide a survey on fault-tolerant techniques for high-performance computing:

- Overview of failure types and typical probability distributions
- Application-specific techniques, such as ABFT
- General-purpose techniques, including several checkpoint and rollback recovery protocols, possibly combined with replication
- Relevant execution scenarios, evaluated and compared through quantitative models.
