摘要：

 This lecture will survey fault-tolerant techniques for high-performance computing. It is organized along the following topics:
(i) A brief overview of failure types (software/hardware, transient/fail-stop), and typical probability distributions (Exponential, Weibull, Log-Normal);
(ii) Checkpoint and rollback recovery protocols: description and analysis (from Young's approximation to Daly's formulas and recent work).
(ii) Extensions: replication, fault prediction, silent errors. Again, the talk will contain many examples and targets an audience of non-specialists of the area.
