Abstract
This paper reports on the architecture and design of Starfish, an environment for executing dynamic (and static) MPI-2 programs on a cluster of workstations. Starfish is unique in being efficient, faulttolerant, highly available, and dynamic as a system internally, and in supporting fault-tolerance and dynamicity for its application programs as well. Starfish achieves these goals by combining group communication technology with checkpoint/restart, and uses a novel architecture that is both flexible and portable and keeps group communication outside the critical data path, for maximum performance.
