(This may be a duplicate. An earlier post seems to have been lost). I'm using openmpi (1.3.2) to run on 3 dual processor machines (running linux, slackware-12.1, gcc-4.4.0). Two are directly on my LAN while the 3rd is connected to my LAN via VPN and NAT (I can communicate in either direction

Dear Josh, I am sure it will definitely be good because if someone is using OPEN MPI for checkpointing his application, he will not want to sit and checkpoint the application manually; and this can be a real pain if its a long running application. I would imagine an automatic

Checkpoint/restart in Open MPI supports TCP, Shared Memory, Infiniband, and Myrinet interconnects (possibly others, but they have not been tested) [1]. Is this what you are looking for? -- Josh [1] Hursey, J., Mattox, T. I., and Lumsdaine, A. 2009. "Interconnect agnostic

Currently, there is no mechanism to checkpoint every X minutes in Open MPI. As mentioned below you can use a script to initiate the checkpoint every X minutes. Alternatively it should not be too difficult to add such a feature to Open MPI. If enough people would be interested I can file

Your cmd line specified that we are only to use the host "biggserver", so all ranks will go there. If you want ranks to go somewhere else, then you need to include that location in your -host spec. See "man orte_hosts" for details. On Jun 30, 2009, at 3:53 AM, Ashika Umanga Umagiliya
