Requirements to resume
- Project must be identical with the exception of "auto shutoff min" and "auto shutoff max".
- Project can be in either layout or analysis mode. Simulation can still be resumed after switching to layout.
- Each of multiple/distributed/MPI processes must have access to its particular checkpoint file. User may need to specify process rank allocation.
- Processor layout, MPI technology (mpich or impi etc), platform (linux/mac/windows), CPU architecture, and Lumerical build number must be the same
Memory usage
- Checkpointing or resuming from checkpoint does not require extra memory
Supported Objects
- All source and monitors types.
- To resume a movie monitor, the previous movie file must still exist on disk. Otherwise the movie monitor will be ignored.
