Abstract:

Advances in network technology and computing power have inspired the emergence of high-performance cluster computing systems. While cluster management and harware high-availability tools are readily available, practical and easily deployable fault-tolerant systems have not been successfully adopted commercially. We present a fault-tolerant system, Multiple fault-tolerant MPI over Myrinet (M-cube), that differs in notable respects from other proposed fault-tolerant systems in the literature. M-cube is built on top of Myrinet since it is regarded as one of the best solutions for high-performance networks and is widely used in cluster computing systems.

The features of M-cube are that it requires no modifications of application code, and it preserves much of the high performance characteristics of Myrinet. Experimental results substantiate our assertion that M-cube can be a good candidate for practically deployable fault-tolerant systems in a very large and high performance Myrinet cluster, and its protocol can be applied to a wide variety of parallel communication libraries without difficulty.
