Computer performance evaluation

a first-order approximation for the time between checkpoints that minimizes lost work, about the square root of twice checkpoint cost times mean time to failure.

In computer performance evaluation, optimal checkpoint interval refers to a first-order approximation for the time between checkpoints that minimizes lost work, about the square root of twice checkpoint cost times mean time to failure. This meaning comes from Young (1974) in Communications of the ACM.[1]
