Hi numeric processing fans. I'm pleased to report that you can now have convenient checkpoint/restart, at least if you are running fedora linux. Berkeley Lab Checkpoint/Restart for Linux (BLCR) http://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/CheckpointDownloads.shtml What I've done is: 1) built 2 rpm packages for blcr. First installs everything except kernel module. 2nd is the kernel module, packaged for use with akmods, which will be (I think) the kmod format of choice in rpmfusion. 2) made a python ctypes module to use it. This allows your python program to checkpoint itself. You will need a couple of packages from livna development to use this: rpm -q --whatprovides kmodtool kmodtool-1-7.fc8.noarch rpm -q --whatprovides akmods akmods-0.2.1-1.fc8.noarch You can find this stuff here: http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/development/SRPMS/ I grabbed the development srpms from livna and built them for my F8 machine. My stuff is here: https://nbecker.dyndns.org/RPM/blcr_mod.py https://nbecker.dyndns.org/RPM/blcr-0.6.4-1.src.rpm https://nbecker.dyndns.org/RPM/blcr-kmod-0.6.4-2.fc8.src.rpm
