Abstract
Traditionally, checkpointing techniques have been used to secure the execution of sequential and parallel programs. This article shows that checkpointing techniques can also be used to automatically generate a parallel program from a sequential program, this program being executed on any kind of distributed parallel system. The article also presents how this new technique have been included inside the usual compilation chain to provide a distributed implementation of OpenMP. Finally, some performance measurements are discussed.
