Re: [Condor-users] snapshot of a job

["Timothy St. Clair" <tstclair@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The standard answers to this are 
1. VM Universe (yes folks use it for pause+resume)  
2. Standard Universe (Several limitations)
3. DMTCP (not yet supported, but it looks like we are heading down that

Each has trade offs so you may want to evaluate cost/benefits based on
your problem domain &&|| users. 

Cheers,
Tim
