Currently Open MPI only supports the checkpointing of the whole application. There has been some work on uncoordinated checkpointing with message logging, though I do not know the state of that work with regards to availability. That work has been undertaken by the University of Tennessee Knoxville, so maybe they can provide more information.

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is a way to checkpoint a specific process running under an mpirun call. In other words, is there a function CHECKPOINT(rank) in which I can pass the rank of the process I want to checkpoint? I do not want to checkpoint the entire application, but just one of its processes.

Thanks
