  • Abstract
    During our research for characterizing individual computing nodes using Software Probes, one of the remaining issues for quickly probing them was that of the checkpoints´ sizes. This article shows the different approaches we used in order to reduce the Probes´ sizes. We demonstrate that in some cases it is possible to reduce the set of Probes of an application up to 95% of its original size, thus making our approach for machine characterization useful even through slow networks such as the Internet.
