As high-performance computing (HPC) machines continue to grow in size, issues such as fault tolerance and reliability limit application scalability. Current techniques to ensure progress across faults, like checkpoint-restart, are unsuitable on their own for exascale machines due to the excessive overheads predicted to more than double an applications time to solution. An alternative mechanism to increase application reliability than just checkpoint-restart alone is redundant computation. The rMPl library enables portable and transparent redundant computation) that, at extreme scale, has significantly lower verhead then just checkpoint-restart on its own.
