Title: Checkpointing for a hybrid computing node

Abstract

According to an aspect, a method for checkpointing in a hybrid computing node includes executing a task in a processing accelerator of the hybrid computing node. A checkpoint is created in a local memory of the processing accelerator. The checkpoint includes state data to restart execution of the task in the processing accelerator upon a restart operation. Execution of the task is resumed in the processing accelerator after creating the checkpoint. The state data of the checkpoint are transferred from the processing accelerator to a main processor of the hybrid computing node while the processing accelerator is executing the task.

Checkpointing using compute node health information

Patent Andrade Costa, Carlos Henrique; Park, Yoonho; Cher, Chen-Yong; ...

A method is disclosed, as well as an associated apparatus and computer program product, for checkpointing using a plurality of communicatively coupled compute nodes. The method comprises acquiring health information for a first node of the plurality of compute nodes, and determining a first failure probability for the first node using the health information. The first failure probability corresponds to a predetermined time interval. The method further comprises selecting a second node of the plurality of compute nodes as a partner node for the first node. The second node has a second failure probability for the time interval.
