 ===== Motivation & Introduction =====
-Introducing wall times is one measure to ensure balanced distribution of resources on every HPC cluster. Yet, some applications need to have extremely long run times. The solution is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_checkpointing|Application Checkpointing]], where a snapshot of the running application is saved in pre-defined intervals.

This provides the ability to restart an application from the point on, where the checkpoint has been saved.
