A Coarse-Grained Pessimistic Message Logging Scheme for Improving Rollback Recovery Efficiency
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As a common technology for fault tolerance and load balance, rollback-recovery faces the challenges of scalability and inherent variability in those long-running large-scale applications with grids as the computing infrastructure. Among the rollback recovery schemes, pessimistic message logging protocols (PMLPs) and coordinated checkpointing protocols (CCPs) are the most popular in practice. Although PMLPs are good in scalability, their fault-free overhead sometimes is prohibitive. CCPs introduce relatively lower overhead, but they are poor in scalability. This work employs partition strategy and introduces the concept of pessimism grain to rollback recovery, striking a balance between good scalability and acceptable overhead. For a partitioned system, a coarse-grained pessimistic message-logging protocol is proposed to achieve scalability and asynchrony both in fault-free execution and in fault recovery. The impact of pessimism grain on the performance is evaluated theoretically. Experimental results show that the pessimism grain is one of the key configuration parameters to reach a desired performance level.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
