Abstract
We summarize different techniques which may be of interest in insuring the survivability of a distributed or parallel application, in the pr esence of processor stoppages or failures. Starting from techniques us ed in sequential systems, we review checkpointing and rollback recover y techniques. Then we discuss methods which are oriented specifically to distributed and parallel system survivability. (C) Elsevier Science Inc. 1997
