Abstract :
The growing complexity of scientific applications has led to the design and deployment of large-scale parallel systems. The IBM Blue Gene/L can hold in excess of 200 K processors and it has been designed for high performance and reliability. However, failures in this large-scale parallel system are a major concern, since it has been demonstrated that a failure will significantly reduce the performance of the system.
