FAST BACKUP OF COMPUTE NODES IN A MASSIVELY PARALLEL COMPUTER SYSTEM |
摘要 |
A method and apparatus for fast backup of a set of compute nodes to save the state of the software in a parallel computer system. A fast backup mechanism in the service node of the computer system configures a set of nodes to be used for a backup and when needed uses the network hardware to perform a fast backup from node to node from an original set of nodes to the backup set of nodes.
