Dear ALL,
I am trying to checkpoint MPI application using the self component. I had a look at the OPEN MPI FT user's guide Draft 1.4. but is still unsure.
I have installed openmpi as follows:
jean$ ./configure --prefix=/home/jean/openmpi/ --enable-debug --enable-mpi-profile --enable-mpi-cxx --enable-binaries --enable-trace --enable-static=yes --enable-debug --with-devel-headers=1 --with-mpi-param-check=always --with-ft=cr --enable-ft-thread --enable-mpi-threads=yes
jean$ make all install
MY questions are:
Q1) Have I properly configured openmpi with self?
In the document, it is said:
"To be absolutely clear: these functions are to be provided by the application - they are not included in the open mpi library"
q2) Does this means that i will have to write my own checkpoint, continue and restart functions and fucntion calls?
Q3) has anyone experienced with self checkpointing? I would really appreaciate if a guide could be available.
Thanks a lot
cheers
JEan
