Abstract
In this paper, we have proposed a new approach toward designing a low-overhead non-blocking single phase synchronous checkpointing algorithm suitable for distributed mobile computing environment. The algorithm produces a reduced number of checkpoints. To achieve this reduction in the number of the checkpoints we have used very simple data structure. Each process independently takes its decision whether to take a checkpoint or not. It makes the algorithm simple, fast, and efficient. The algorithm has been shown to be suitable for distributed mobile computing environment.
