Checkpointing

DMTCP (Distributed MultiThreaded Checkpointing) transparently checkpoints the state of a centralized or distributed computation. It operates directly on the user's binary code, without needing to modify the user binary or the operating system. Platforms: *nix

CryoPID allows you to capture the state of a running process in Linux and save it to a file. This file can then be used to resume the process later on, either after a reboot or even on another machine. Features Current features are: Can run as an ordinary user! (no root privileges needed)... Platforms: *nix

Condor schedules and runs remote CPU intensive applications using the idle cycles of distributively owned workstations. It monitors a pool of machines to find idle machines that are then used to complete submitted jobs, and also provides checkpointing and remote system mechanisms that allow for... Platforms: *nix

Genefer is a program for finding large Generalised Fermat Primes (b^2^n+1), originally written by Yves Gallot in 2001. It has since been updated by David Underbakke and Mark Rodenkirch to provide checkpointing and other features. In addition, David and Mark developed two new versions of Genefer -... Platforms: Mac

LogFS is a Log Structured File System for Linux that supports snapshots. A Log Structured File System (LFS) writes all the file system data sequentially in a log-like structure. A log consists of a series of segments, where each segment contains both data and inode blocks. Traditional file... Platforms: *nix
