Outcomes of the fault tolerance configuration

This paper presents the influence of the fault tolerance configuration on different applications using performance metrics. Two configuration parameters are analysed: the heartbeat/watchdog interval and the checkpoint interval. In addition, even message logging is mandatory, an analysis of its overhead on different applications is presented. The impact of message logging on applications has been analysed according to the nature of the communication primitives used on the application. This analysis shows why for different applications the message logging introduces different overhead.Presentado en el IX Workshop Procesamiento Distribuido y Paralelo (WPDP)Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI
