There is some work being done in this area; I'm working on such a
system but taking a different slant than the references I'll give
you.  Unfortunately I don't have anything fully implemented now.

Try contacting the following individuals:


Juan Leon --> Juan.Leon@cs.cmu.edu  (Fail-Safe PVM)

Georg Stellner -->  stellner@informatik.tu-muenchen.de


Both of their systems are based on synchronous checkpointing.

 My sick and twisted opinions are my own, of course.  It's more fun that way.
