To mitigate this problem, a makespan and reliability driven (MRD) sufferage scheduling algorithm is designed and implemented. Different from the traditional Grid scheduling algorithms, the algorithm addresses the makespan as well as reliability of tasks. The simulation experimental results show that the MRD sufferage scheduling algorithm can increase reliability of tasks and can trade off reliability against makespan of tasks by adjusting the weighting parameter in its cost function.
