Abstract

The mathematical model of an estimation of an execution time of the program in the presence of random failures is studied. For decreasing of influence of failures on a program execution time the known method of checkpoints is considered. The main objective consists in reception of the formula for a distribution function of a random variable of an execution time of the program and an estimation of a quantile of the received distribution. Properties of a mean value of a random variable of an execution time of the program are studied.
