In this report, we consider the impact of the consistency model on checkpointing and rollback algorithms for distributed shared memory. In particular, we consider specific implementations of four consistency models for distributed shared memory, namely, linearizability, sequential consistency, causal consistency and eventual consistency, and develop checkpointing and rollback algorithms that can be integrated into the implementations of the consistency models. Our results empirically demonstrate that the mechanisms used to implement stronger consistency models lead to simpler or more efficient checkpointing algorithms.
