Hi,

Are you proposing to modify one of the open-source checkpointing packages? If yes, which one?

Thanks

Vivek

Yes, it is the open MPI checkpointing mechanism. I have already deployed it on a linux based platform and its checkpointing and restarting fine.

The next stage is to either modify the existing checkpointing solution or create a new layer that will perform checkpointing based on a set of criteria i have defined.
