Re: [Condor-users] Checkpointing in vanilla

["Thomas Materna" <materna@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is no checkpointing in vanilla universe. That is precisely the main difference between the vanilla universe and the standard universe!

 

Suspend and resume do exactly what they say. They do not checkpoint, that means the do not save the status of the job in a file so that it can be continued elsewhere. Suspend and resume only happen on the same machine.

 

Condor will not resume the vanilla job where it left, but it can restart it automatically from the beginning.

 

If you want checkpointing, you have to abandon vanilla universe, otherwise, I am afraid you are going to have to live with it.

 Hi,

Is there any way to  checkpoint in the vanilla universe?

Does suspend and resume provide the same facility as checkpoint.

suppose a job is running in the vanilla universe and there is a power failure.

on resuming, will condor be able to resume from where it left?

if NO. then what other options are available in vanilla universe to checkpoint?
