R ( 0 < R < 1) is first generated. Afterwards, R is compared with the predefined<br />
fixed confidence threshold FT ( 0 < FT < 1)<br />
, if R is larger than FT , then a p is<br />
selected as a h<strong>and</strong>ling point. Otherwise,<br />
a p is not selected as a h<strong>and</strong>ling point. In<br />
RA , the fixed confidence threshold FT actually decides how much the portion <strong>of</strong><br />
checkpoints will be selected as h<strong>and</strong>ling points. For example, if FT is set as 0.9,<br />
then a total <strong>of</strong> 1-0.9=0.1, i.e. 10% <strong>of</strong> the checkpoints will be selected as violation<br />
h<strong>and</strong>ling points while the others will be skipped without temporal violation h<strong>and</strong>ling.<br />
As shown in Table 7.2, the experiment settings are as follows. The process<br />
definitions are generated based on the pulsar searching example presented in Section<br />
1.2 <strong>and</strong> the attribute settings are based historic data for the running <strong>of</strong> scientific<br />
workflow instances [56]. Meanwhile, the experiment settings are extended<br />
deliberately for the purpose <strong>of</strong> exploring a much larger parameter space to evaluate<br />
our strategy in general s<strong>of</strong>tware applications <strong>of</strong> similar nature in distributed high<br />
performance computing environments.<br />
