ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a continuous health-check approach for detecting Silent Data Corruption (SCD) in High Performance Computing (HPC) environments. The goal is to minimize the effect of hardware errors in the overall reliability and accuracy of the system by overseeing and validating the accuracy of data. Our work focuses on comparing and presenting the advantages and shortcomings of two approaches to overcoming SDC. Our research shows that from the two proposed methods - threshold triggered and continuous verification - the latter is superior in terms of latency.

Detecting Silent Data Corruption for Extreme-Scale MPI Applications
EuroMPI '15: Proceedings of the 22nd European MPI Users' Group MeetingNext-generation supercomputers are expected to have more components and, at the same time, consume several times less energy per operation. These trends are pushing supercomputer construction to the limits of miniaturization and energy-saving ...
Detection and Correction of Silent Data Corruption for Large-Scale High-Performance Computing
IPDPSW '11: Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing Workshops and PhD ForumFaults have become the norm rather than the exception for high-end computing on clusters with 10s/100s of thousands of cores, and this situation will only become more dire as we reach exascale computing. Exacerbating this situation, some of these faults ...
