Abstract :
The author describes a component bused checkpointing code generation tool. Scientific applications that require long computation runtimes experience the risk of hardware or software failures. Failure during a long computation requires that the application restarts the calculations from the beginning. Checkpointing important data at set intervals and using that data during a restart of the application minimizes the recalculation of data during failures
