Hi Edson, You seem to have hit a known bug that we have for dmtcp version 2.4.1. We had an unfortunate regression concerning interval checkpointing. --interval and DMTCP_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL are not working properly in version 2.4.1.
We will be releasing version 2.4.2 in a few days. In the meantime, your options are to use dmtcp-2.4.0, or else the development branch (which is currently reasonable stable). The development branch can be found through: google dmtcp download --> http://dmtcp.sourceforge.net/downloads.html ----> git clone https://github.com/dmtcp/dmtcp.git ----> OR: wget https://github.com/dmtcp/dmtcp/archive/master.zip Best, - Gene On Thu, Oct 08, 2015 at 07:29:38PM +0200, Edson Tavares de Camargo wrote: > Hi Kapil, I will comment below: > > 2015-10-08 15:39 GMT+02:00 Kapil Arya <kapil.arya...@gmail.com>: > > > Hi Edson, > > > > For coordinator-less checkpointing, I would suggest that you use the > > "--no-coordinator" flag with dmtcp_launch. > > > > The version 2.2 woks fine with --no-coordination: > > ~/test/plugin/applic-initiated-ckpt/applic$ dmtcp_launch --no-coordinator > ./applic > > > > > This allows you to specify an checkpoint interval. > > > > In this case above, how the checkpoint interval works?
