....has some nice advantages, like transparency and automatic recovery. However, it may incur a higher performance penalty, it requires more space in stable storage and is restricted to homogeneous platforms. In the past years there has been some work on high level checkpointing schemes [6] 13][21 27]. Juan Leon implemented a transparent checkpointing mechanism for PVM (Fail Safe PVM) 20] Despite the feasibility of that mechanism he considered a possible relaxation of the transparency as an interesting alternative.

....PVM (Fail Safe PVM) 20] Despite the feasibility of that mechanism he considered a possible relaxation of the transparency as an interesting alternative. Latter on, he proposed an application oriented toolkit for checkpointing in message passing systems whose main goal is to provide portability [21]. The application programmer should be responsible for specifying which portions of the application state must be checkpointed. This information will reduce the checkpoint size. The placement of checkpoints should be specified by some programming hints and should also use some of the ....
