Outline of Final Research Achievements

Assuming that the state of an application is periodically saved during its execution, we have considered an automatic tuning method for the frequency of saving the state to a hierarchical storage system, and also have discussed a way for reducing the time for writing the state to the storage. A promising approach to the reduction is to speculatively write data that will be written in the future at a high probability. Hence, one technical issue is how to predict such data. For the prediction, we need to analyze memory access patterns of the target application. Hence, we have developed a performance analysis tool for the purpose. The validity and effectiveness of these proposed methods are evaluated based on job scheduling simulation of a large-scale computing system.
