Bug#529619: RFP: blcr -- Berkeley Lab Checkpoint/Restart

[Christian Hudon <chrish@pianocktail.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Blcr is a process checkpointing solution for Linux. More information is 
available at: https://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/CheckpointRestart.shtml

Extract from the web site:

Future Technologies Group researchers are developing a hybrid 
kernel/user implementation of checkpoint/restart. Their goal is to 
provide a robust, production quality implementation that checkpoints a 
wide range of applications, without requiring changes to be made to 
application code. This work focuses on checkpointing parallel 
applications that communicate through MPI, and on compatibility with the 
software suite produced by the SciDAC Scalable Systems Software ISIC. 
This work is broken down into 4 main areas:

   * Checkpoint/Restart for Linux (CR)
   * Checkpointable MPI Libraries
   * Resource Management Interface to Checkpoint/Restart
   * Development of Process Management Interfaces
