SCR Algorithm: Saving/Restoring States of File Systems

Fault-tolerance is very important in cluster computing and has beenimplemented in many famous cluster-computing systems using checkpoint/restartmechanisms. But existent check-pointing algorithms cannot restore the states of afile system when roll-backing the running of a program, so there are many restrictionson file accesses in existent fault-tolerance systems. SCR algorithm, an algorithmbased on atomic operation and consistent schedule, which can restore the states offile systems, is presented in this pap…
