| 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.
