This year will feature a four-fold deeper dive into checkpoint-restore technology, thanks to participation by people from a number of additional related projects! These are the OpenMPI message-passing library, Berkeley Lab Checkpoint/Restart (BLCR), and Distributed MultiThreaded CheckPointing (DMTCP) (not to be confused with TCP/IP), in addition to the Checkpoint/Restore in Userspace group that has participated in prior years.

Docker integration remains a hot topic, as is post-copy live migration, as well as testing/validation. As you might guess from the inclusion of people from BLCR and OpenMPI, checkpoint-restore for distributed workloads (rather than just single systems) is an area of interest.

Please join us for a timely and important discussion!
