Subject: [Condor-users] Compressing checkpoint file in condor
Hi, Looks like condor_shadow configuration file has an entry to instruct user jobs to compress checkpoints whenever they can (using COMPRESS_PERIODIC_CKPT). Now, I was wondering is it a per machine based
configuration or a per user based and is it possible for a user to rather specify when he wants these checkpoint to be compressed in the submission file? And also, what does it mean when the condor manual says -
"
COMPRESS_PERIODIC_CKPT
This boolean macro specifies
whether the shadow should instruct applications to compress periodic
checkpoints (when possible). The default is False.
" Does it mean that the application has to handle this compression or condor does it?
