A Technical Anatomy Of How OpenMPI Applications Can Inherit Fault-Tolerance Using SPM.Python

Minesh B Amin

SPM.Python is a scalable, parallel fault-tolerant version of the serial Python language, and can be deployed to create parallel capabilities to solve problems in domains divning finance, life sciences, electronic design, IT, visualization, and research. Software developers may use SPM.Python to augment new or existing (Python) serial scripts for scalability across parallel hardware. Alternatively, SPM.Python may be used to better manage the execution of stand-alone (non-Python x86 and GPU) applications across compute resources in a fault-tolerant manner taking into account hard deadlines. In this paper, we shall review how OpenMPI applications (legacy or otherwise) can inherit fault-tolerance using SPM.Python.
