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. -- Mizanur Khondoker Division of Pathway Medicine (DPM) The University of Edinburgh Medical School The Chancellor's Building 49 Little France Crescent Edinburgh EH16 4SB United Kingdom Tel: +44 (0) 131 242 6287 Fax: +44 (0) 131 242 6244 http://www.pathwaymedicine.ed.ac.uk/ [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
