Dear list,

Most high performance computing clusters/grid engines  have some
restrictions on how long a job can be run in batch mode.
The cluster I am using has maximum of 48 hours limit, but my job would take
far more than that.

I know that it is possible to checkpoint jobs without modifying the code if
some specialized software (e.g., BLCR ) is installed on the grid engine.

However, I am looking for a solution when this kind of facility is not
available on the cluster,  for example , by modifying the code so that the
job can checkpoint and restart by itself.

Does anyone have any  experience or idea of doing so? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
