Download or read book 2018 IEEE ACM 8th Workshop on Fault Tolerance for HPC at EXtreme Scale (FTXS) written by IEEE Staff and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authors are invited to submit original papers on the research and practice of fault tolerance in extreme scale distributed systems (primarily HPC systems, but including grid and cloud systems) Resilience and fault tolerance remain a major concern for supercomputing and advances in this area are needed to allow applications to compute accurate (or within an acceptable error tolerance) answers in a timely and efficient manner in the presence of degradations or failures of platform components (both hardware and software) Failure data analysis and field studies Power, performance, resilience (PPR) assessments tradeoffs Novel fault tolerance techniques and implementations Emerging hardware and software technology for resilience Silent data corruption (SDC) detection correction techniques Advances in reliability monitoring, analysis, and control of highly complex systems Failure prediction, error preemption, and recovery techniques Fault tolerant programming models
