In this paper, we suggest a checkpoint and recovery facility for the fault-tolerable process which is expected to be executed for a long time. The basic concept of the suggested facility is to allow the process to be executed continuously, when the process was stopped due to a System fault, by storing the execution status of the process periodically and recovering the execution status prior to the fault was occurred. In the suggested facility, it does not need to modify the source code for the fault-tolerable process. It was designed for the user to specify directly the file name and the checkpoint frequency, and two system calls(save, recover) were added. finally, it was implemented on the Linux environment(kernel 2.4.18) for checking the feasibility.

Identifying the patterns of gene expression in breast cancers is essential to understanding their pathophysiology and developing anticancer drugs. Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with different subtypes determined by distinct biological features. Luminal breast cancer is characterized by a relatively high expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) genes, which are expressed in breast luminal cells. In ~25% of invasive breast cancers, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed; these cancers are categorized as the HER2 type. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), in which the cancer cells do not express ER/PR or HER2, shows highly aggressive clinical outcomes. TNBC can be further classified into specific subtypes according to genomic mutations and cancer immunogenicity. Herein, we discuss the brief history of TNBC classification and its implications for promising treatments.

검사점 및 복구 도구는 응용 프로그램의 상태를 주기적으로 안정된 저장소에 저장을 하고, 결함이 발생하였을 경우 가장 최근의 검사점으로부터 효율적으로 복구하게 하는 도구이다. 특히 검사점 및 복구 도구는 장시간 수행되는 프로세서에게는 아주 중요한 의미를 지니며, 결함으로 인해 장시간 수행되는 프로세스에 의해 생성된 중간 결과를 잃어버리지 않게 한다. 본 논문에서는 UnixWare 커널 수준의 검사점 및 복구 도구인 Kckpt의 설계 및 구현 내용을 제시하고, Kckpt의 성능을 사용자 수준에서 구현한 검사점 라이브러리와 비교한 결과를 제시한다. Kckpt를 사용함으로 해서 UnixWare는 소스 코드 수준에서 사용자가 초기화한 장소에서 검사점을 만들 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 실행 가능한 파일만을 가진 사용자에게도 완전한 투명성을 제공할 수 있다. 또한 Kckpt를 사용자 라이브러리 수준에서 구현한 검사점 도구와 성능을 비교한 결과 오버헤드가 훨씬 줄어들었음을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Incremental checkpointing, which is intended to minimize checkpointing overhead, saves only the modified pages of a process. However, the cumulative site of incremental checkpoints increases at a steady rate over time because a number of updated values may be saved for the same page. In this paper, we present a comprehensive overview of Pickpt, a page-level incremental checkpointing facility. Pickpt provides space-efficient techniques aiming to minimizing the use of disk space. For our experiments, the results showed that the use of disk space using Pickpt was significantly reduced, compared with existing incremental checkpointing.
