 This is a replacement for THE BLCR methods we used [[cluster:147|BLCR Checkpoint in OL3 -serial]] or [[cluster:148|BLCR Checkpoint in OL3 - parallel]] ... BLCR is not being developed anymore. Today's brief power outage removed the BLCR kernel module HPCC wide. So learn DMTCP. I have not provided wrappers but you can follow the same logic as we used with BLCR. This is a replacement for THE BLCR methods we used [[cluster:147|BLCR Checkpoint in OL3 -serial]] or [[cluster:148|BLCR Checkpoint in OL3 - parallel]] ...

 +Write your checkpoint files in ''/sanscratch/checkpoints/JOBPID'' so it does not add into your quota.  The scheduler will not create this directory for you, you must do this in your submit job.  Directories will automatically be delete if 120 days old.
