    2323   * '''sacctmgr show qos format=Name,!MaxWall,!MaxNodesPerUser | grep -E "normal|long"'''
    24 * '''Checkpointing mitigates job failures due to node (and/or storage) crashes''' - especially for long running parallel MPI jobs.
     24* '''Checkpointing mitigates the loss of resources and data due to either hardware failures or infinite looping jobs ''' - especially for otherwise long running parallel MPI jobs.
    2525* '''Checkpointed jobs can handle frequent job pre-emption''' - especially for certain cloud-based job queues with high availability.
     26* '''Easier maintenance for HPC cluster managers''' - shorter maintenance periods waiting for nodes to become idle for servicing and reduced risk from less need for postponement of updates for security, hardware, and software.
