Abstract
This paper suggests a technique for analyzing the performance of check pointing schemes with task duplication. We show how this technique can be used to derive the average execution time of a task and other impo rtant parameters related to the performance of checkpointing schemes. The analysis results are used to study and compare the performance of four existing checkpointing schemes. Our comparison results show that, in general, the number of processors used, not the complexity of the scheme, has the most effect on the scheme performance.
