The BLCR web site is http://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/CheckpointRestart.shtml. At the very bottom of that web page is an address where you can send questions about BLCR itself. Additionally, we wrote a paper about the BLCR integration in LAM/MPI: http://www.lam-mpi.org/papers/lacsi2003/

Subject: Re: [lam-devel] how to cause a checkpoint after register (src code)?
well, that's make sence!
thanks, Brian,
so, in another words, the LAM registers the callback and then using cr_checkpoint to fire that, the process is done by the blcr kernal module.
that's the answer what i want to know.
could you tell me what's blcr mailing list?
i didn't find that in the web. :(
happy labour day!

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. cr_register_callback() is
part of the BLCR API. It will call the specified callback when the
process receives a checkpoint request. We don't really care how that
callback is fired -- that's the problem of BLCR. The checkpoint
requests are delivered to the specified process by the cr_checkpoint
command that is part of the BLCR package.
If you are interested in the internals of the BLCR implementation,
you should contact the blcr mailing list. If I missed your question
entirely, please let me know.
