Description-en: Checkpoint/Restart functionality for Linux processes
DMTCP (Distributed MultiThreaded Checkpointing) is a tool to transparently
checkpointing the state of an arbitrary group of programs including
multi-threaded and distributed computations. It operates directly on the user
binary executable, with no Linux kernel modules or other kernel mods.
.
Among the applications supported by DMTCP are Open MPI, MATLAB, Python, Perl,
and many programming languages and shell scripting languages. DMTCP also
supports GNU screen sessions, including vim/cscope and emacs. With the use of
TightVNC, it can also checkpoint and restart X-Window applications, as long
as they do not use extensions (e.g.: no OpenGL, no video).
.
This package contains DMTCP binaries.
