Abstract
The notion of checkpointing model building is introduced to safeguard against the loss of computational results due to abnormal termination of long running computation algorithms. A checkpoint manager initiates a checkpoint, wherein initiation occurs by various scenarios, including dynamically, automatically and manually. A computation module executes the checkpoint on an in progress data computation. The checkpoint manager also monitors the execution of the checkpoint for abnormal termination. Upon a determination of abnormal checkpoint termination, the inability to resume model building from a checkpoint, the checkpoint manger either resumes model build from the checkpoint or aborts the model build.
