摘要：Grid computing is a term referring to the combination of computer resources from multiple administrative domains to reach a common goal, to solve a single task, and may then disappear just as quickly. Fault tolerance is a critical concept in grid computing. Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to perform its function correctly even in the presence of faults. The fault tolerance makes the system more dependable. There are many mechanisms for fault tolerance in grid computing. These include application dependent, monitoring systems, check pointing, and fault tolerant scheduling. This paper presents an overview of check pointing scheme for fault tolerance in grid applications. Check pointing is a record of the snapshot of the entire system state in order to restart the application after the occurrence of some failure
