Checkpoint and Restart: An Energy Consumption Characterization in Clusters

The fault tolerance method currently used in High Perfor- mance Computing (HPC) is the rollback-recovery method by using check- points. This, like any other fault tolerance method, adds an additional energy consumption to that of the execution of the application. The objective of this work is to...
