IEEE transactions on software engineering, 1984•ieeexplore.ieee.orgThe execution of long-running batch programs imposes severe reliability constraints on a
computing system since the occurrence of a failure during its execution is more likely and
that once occurred, a failure would destroy all the processing perfonned thus far. This paper
studies the execution delay and machine resources consumed in supporting the running of
large batch programs in a computing environment interrupted by failures. The effect of
checkpoints and their optimal insertion are also considered. The results are applicable to …

This paper studies the execution delay and machine resources consumed in supporting the running of large batch programs in a computing environment interrupted by failures. The effect of checkpoints and their optimal insertion are also considered. The results are applicable to arbitrary law of failure.
