This research should further our understanding of how to build reliable         distributed systems.  The proposed checkpointing algorithm emphasizes           practicality and should show that checkpointing is a practical way to           provide reliability in a working, general-purpose, distributed system.          The algorithm possesses a set of desirable properties that are crucial          in such a system.  Novel solutions are provided to satisfy the                  conflicting requirements of these properties.                                                                                                                   The algorithm also shows how checkpointing can be incorporated with             other well-established concepts in distributed systems, such as                 atomicity and a modular architecture using shared memory for efficient          intra-node communication and message-passing for inter-node                     communication.
