Job Checkpoint, Restart, and Migration

Job checkpoint and restart optimizes resource usage by enabling a non-interactive

job to restart on a new host from the point at which the job stopped—checkpointed

jobs do not have to restart from the beginning. Job migration facilitates load

balancing by enabling users to move a job from one host to another while taking

advantage of job checkpoint and restart functionality.
