+With respect to various high-availability cluster
+projects~\cite{robertson2000linux,haddad2003ha,leangsuksun2005achieving} our
+approach has the following advantages. First, is scales with the large number
+of nodes, as only point-to-point communication between slave and master node is
+used instead of broadcast messages (which has been shown in the previous
+work~\cite{gankevich2015subordination}), hence, the use of several switches and
+routers is possible within single cluster. Second, our approach does not
+require the use of standby servers to provide high availability of a master
+node: we provide fault tolerance on kernel layer instead. As the computation
+progresses, kernels copy themselves on nodes that are directly connected to the
+current one, and these can be any nodes from the cluster. Finally,
+high-availability cluster projects do not deal with parallel programme
+failures, they aim to provide high-availability for services running on master
+node (NFS, SMB, DHCP, etc.), whereas our approach is specifically targeted at
+providing continuous execution of parallel applications.
