I am not aware of any MPI that would allow you to relocate a process while the 
job is running. You have to checkpoint it, terminate it, and then restart the 
entire job with the new node included.

Dear Slurm-dev,


Does checkpoint/restart feature available in SLURM able to relocate MPI 
application from one node to another node while it is running ?

For the example, I run MPI application in node A,B and C in a cluster and I 
want to migrate/relocate process running in node A to other node, let's say to 
node C while it is running.

is there a way to do this with SLURM ? Thank you.


Regards,

Husen
