报告摘要：

This talk will provide an overview of fault-tolerance techniques for High Performance Computing at very large scale. We first address fail-stop errors, a.k.a. unrecoverable failures, and discuss various checkpoint protocols. We then discuss silent errors, a.k.a. silent data corruptions, and present several detection/correction mechanisms.
