*: {link:https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/search?s=dmtcp&t=1 Tickets about DMTCP}
*: Releases are now in /p/condor/public/binaries/contrib, named dmtcp_condor_integration-*-Any-Any.tar.gz where * is the version number.
*: The Git repository is in /p/condor/repository/dmtcp_condor.git/ and can be cloned with
{code}git clone /p/condor/repository/dmtcp_condor.git/{endcode}
*: When making a new release, you need to change the version number inside of shim_dmtcp.
*: DMTCP has a build option for Condor.  The normal behavior is to try and checkpoint sockets.  When built for Condor, DMTCP behaves like Condor's checkpointing support: attempts to checkpoint are delayed until all sockets are closed.

General system:
*: The user submits a job.  Notable changes to their submit file are:
{code}
# Submit the ship_dmtcp instead of their normal job.
executable=shim_dmtcp

# Those are IN ADDITION to the users "real" binary and input files!
transfer_input_files = dmtcp_checkpoint,dmtcp_coordinator,\
    dmtcp_command,dmtcp_restart,dmtcphijack.so,libmtcp.so,\
    mtcp_restart

# Argument  Meaning
# --log     log file name for actions in shim_dmtcp script,
#           if n/a use /dev/null
# --stdin   stdin file, if n/a use /dev/null
# --stdout  stdout file, if n/a use /dev/null
# --stderr  stderr file, if n/a use /dev/null
# --ckptint checkpointing interval in seconds
# 1         the executable name you should have transferred in
# 2+        arguments to the executable
#
# Note that stdout/stderr files are for output from the "real"
# binaries.  The normal output/error will execlusively be
# messages from shim_dmtcp and the DMTCP tools.

# If your pool isn't homogenous (nearly identical distributions
# and updates), your checkpoints may not be portable.  The exact
# options needed aren't yet knom, but these may work.  Note that
# you'll need to identify the exact values yourself; these won't
# work for you!

*: The shim starts up the dmtcp_coordinator.  It is given instructions to checkpoint at regular intervals.
*: The shim starts up the user job, sneaking dmtcphijack.so into the runtime. (Probably using LD_PRELOAD?)
