Machines we are using everyday are not perfect; they are often subject to dysfunctions. Such dysfunctions can have different sources such as processor’s wear-out, mechanics part breaks in a hard drive, defective blocks in memory,
a bit of chapter is to investigate efficient solutions for guarantying the reliable execution of applications in computational grid platforms. We will put a special emphasis on the checkpointing techniques.
