Is BLCR integrated with any batch systems?
We are aware of the following, but we are not always informed of new efforts to integrate with BLCR. For the most up-to-date information you should consult the support channels of your favorite batch system. TORQUE version 2.3 and later Support for serial and parallel jobs, including periodic checkpoints and qhold/qrls. SLURM version 2.0 and later Support for automatic (periodic) and manually requested checkpoints. SGE (aka Sun Grid Engine) Information on configuring SGE to use BLCR can be found here.

LSF Information on configuring LSF to use BLCR can be found in this posting on the checkpoint@lbl.gov list. Condor Information on configuring Condor to use BLCR to checkpoint “Vanilla Universe” jobs with the help of Parrot can be found here. Work is ongoing by third parties to integrate BLCR into other batch systems. If you are interested in adding BLCR sup
