&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description:&lt;\/strong&gt; When a cluster job runs out of time or stops unexpectedly, you can lose hours or days of computation. Learn to save your calculation\u2019s progress and resume from the last saved point instead of starting over. &lt;b&gt;Checkpointing allows a running program to periodically save its computational state so that, if interrupted, it can resume from the last saved point rather than starting over.&lt;\/b&gt; Similar to saving a document while working, checkpointing protects your computational progress and helps avoid wasting valuable computing time and resources.&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In this virtual training session, participants will learn practical techniques for implementing checkpointing and restarting computational jobs on FASRC clusters. We will explore different checkpointing approaches, including application-level checkpointing, transparent checkpointing without modifying source code, and checkpointing capabilities built into scientific applications and machine-learning frameworks.&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hands-on Examples&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Resume a Python or C calculation after an interruption.&lt;\/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Continue a GROMACS molecular simulation across multiple jobs.&lt;\/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Resume PyTorch model training from a saved checkpoint.&lt;\/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Save and resume some programs you didn\u2019t write, including parallel (MPI) applications, without adding checkpoint code.&lt;\/li&gt; &lt;\/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;You\u2019ll also learn to save progress before a job\u2019s time limit, automate restarts, and use FASRC\u2019s requeue partitions.&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;No prior experience with checkpointing is required.&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who should attend?&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Researchers running long calculations, simulations, or model training on FASRC clusters&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Date: &lt;\/b&gt;Thursday, Nov 5, 2026&lt;br \/&gt; &lt;b&gt;Time:&lt;\/b&gt; 1:00 \u2013 2:30 PM &lt;br \/&gt; &lt;b&gt;Level:&lt;\/b&gt; Intermediate &lt;br \/&gt; &lt;b&gt;Cost: &lt;\/b&gt;Free&lt;b&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; Presenter&lt;\/b&gt;: Plamen Krastev &lt;br \/&gt; &lt;b&gt;Facilitators: &lt;\/b&gt;Nathan Weeks, Brad Spitzbart, &amp; Manasvita Joshi&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Prerequisites&lt;\/b&gt;: &lt;\/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;FASRC cluster account.
