The Grid scheduler, schedules user jobs on the best available resource in terms of resource characteristics by optimizing job execution time.

It is therefore absolutely essential that these long-running applications are able to tolerate failures and avoid re-computations from scratch after resource failure has occurred, to satisfy the user's Quality of Service (QoS) requirement.
