Abstract
An efficient scheme for placing forced checkpoints in a
distributed real-time embedded system so as to eliminate useless
checkpoints is presented. The notion of primary non-causal intervals is
introduced; these intervals are shown to be the only candidates that
need to be considered for inserting a minimum number of forced
checkpoints. An efficient algorithm is then used to identify the primary
non-causal intervals where forced checkpoints should be inserted. The
algorithm first converts the original problem to another problem on a
directed graph, which may reflect the existence of useless checkpoints.
The new problem can be efficiently solved using existing methods
