Two years ago I did a survey of checkpointing in comp.os.research, and
posted the results there.  Last year, Paul Harrington
(phrrngtn@dcs.st-and.ac.uk ) did a survey of checkpointing, and
packaged my survey results along with his in a web page:

For convenient access to checkpointing and rollback in a distributed
programming environment (PVM) check out my HOPE web page:

    http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~crispin/hope.html

HOPE is a programming model for optimism, which necessitates
checkpointing and rollback.  I will be presenting papers on HOPE at the
HPDC-4 conference (performance of the implementation), and at the
PODC'95 conference (formal semantics).
