ANR White Project Rescue (2010-2014), 4 years.

The ANR White Project Rescue was launched in November 2010, for a duration of 48 months. It gathers three Inria partners (Roma , Grand-Large and Hiepacs) and is led by Roma . The main objective of the project is to develop new algorithmic techniques and software tools to solve the exascale resilience problem. Solving this problem implies a departure from current approaches, and calls for yet-to-be-discovered algorithms, protocols and software tools.

This proposed research follows three main research thrusts. The first thrust deals with novel checkpoint protocols. The second thrust entails the development of novel execution models, i.e., accurate stochastic models to predict (and, in turn, optimize) the expected performance (execution time or throughput) of large-scale parallel scientific applications. In the third thrust, we will develop novel parallel algorithms for scientific numerical kernels.
