I'm sorry, but the condor checkpointing technology is unable to 
checkpoint processes that have inter-process communication of most any 
kind.  It can't checkpoint MPI codes today.

If all the MPI nodes are going to run on the same machine, you might 
want to investigate the DMTCP checkpointing libraries on source forge.

Sorry, and good luck,
