You are receiving this message because you have e-mailed us in the past with questions about the development status of Berkeley Lab Checkpoint/Restart (BLCR) for Linux. I am pleased to announce that version 0.4.0 just went up on our website at http://ftg.lbl.gov/checkpoint This release adds the experimental Linux 2.6.x support that many of you have asked me about. It is still only for ia32 (no Opteron yet, but I am working on it). The 2.6 support is much less tested than the 2.4 kernel support. So, we'd really apreciate hearing of your success or failure with BLCR 0.4.0. For the truely bold, you can uncomment a few lines in configure.ac and the incomplete x86_64 (Opteron) will be available. Currently that port can take single-threaded checkpoint but not multi-theaded. It also fails to restart from any checkpoint, producing a General Protection fault. If you are interested in helping with debugging the x86_64 problems, let us know. -Paul -- Paul H.
