Scientific workflows are data- and compute-intensive; thus, they may run for days or even weeks on parallel and distributed infrastructures such as grids, supercomputers, and clouds. In these high-performance computing infrastruc- tures, the number of failures that can arise during scientific-workflow enact- ment can be high, so the use of fault-tolerance techniques is unavoidable. The most-frequently used fault-tolerance technique is taking checkpoints from time to time; when failure is detected, the last consistent state is restored. One of the most-critical factors that has great impact on the effectiveness of the checkpointing method is the checkpointing interval. In this work, we propose a Static (Wsb) and an Adaptive (AWsb) Workflow Structure Based checkpoint- ing algorithm. Our results showed that, compared to the optimal checkpointing strategy, the static algorithm may decrease the checkpointing overhead by as much as 33% without affecting the total processing time of workflow execution. The adaptive algorithm may further decrease this overhead while keeping the overall processing time at its necessary minimum.
