Job checkpoint and restart
While TORQUE has had a job checkpoint and restart capability for many years, this was tied to machine specific features. Now TORQUE supports BLCR—an architecture independent package that provides for process checkpoint and restart.
The support for BLCR is only for serial jobs, not for any MPI type jobs.
