Welcome to the website for the Global Grid Forum Grid Checkpoint Recovery (GridCPR) Working Group.

GGF18 (Washington, D.C.)


The Grid Checkpoint Recovery Working Group (GridCPR-WG) will meet during GGF18 on Wednesday, September 13, 2006 at 6:30~7:15pm in Room 156. [Agenda & Map]

We encourage you to also attend meetings of the SAGA (Simple API for Grid Applications) group, which are pertinent to the GridCPR-WG's efforts to align its work with that broader effort.

We look forward to seeing you at GGF18 in Washington, D.C.

Focus:
The Grid Checkpoint Recovery Working Group will define a user-level API and associated layer of services that will permit checkpointed jobs to be recovered and continued on the same or on remote Grid resources. A key feature of Grid Checkpoint Recovery service is recoverability of jobs among heterogeneous Grid resources. In other words, resources on which jobs are checkpointed need not be of the same type as those on which the jobs are recovered, as long as the application code operating on the checkpointing resource can be built for and run on the recovery platforms. The benefits of a resource-independent checkpoint recovery capability for Grids include facilitation of strategic or tactical job preemption and migration (e.g. job load balancing among available resources, cost-based job migration, etc.), in addition to recoverability of Grid-managed computational jobs across heterogeneous resources.
