so it looks like this is closer to the strategy (1) in that if uesr’s 
parameer file has “calculate on time interval [0, T)” together with “do 
restart”, 
then you would restart from some snapshot time t1 \in [0,T) and 
continue calculations according to user’s settings (tolerances, timestep, etc)?

I thought serialization with solution transfer and p::d::Tria is bounded to 
using the same number of 
MPI processes. Good to know that it is not.
