I run mpi on an NSF computer. One of the conditions of use is that jobs are limited to 24 hr duration to provide democratic allotment to its users.
A long program can require many restarts, so it becomes necessary to store the state of the program in memory, print it, recompile, and and read the state to start again. I seem to remember a simpler approach (check point restart?) in which the state of the .exe code is saved and then simply restarted from its current position. Is there something like this for restarting an mpi program?
