In my case, we have enough single points of failure in the system that fault tolerance for this component is not critical. However, I am interested in general in the solution to the [asynchronous execution + queue + queue worker] problem along with all of the issues related to scalability and reliability. accuracy of computation? of course. but this would seem to me to be a matter of program logic. caching? not sure what you mean, but caching is good if it increases performance without creating synchronization problems.
