Detailed Description

The checkpoint/restart system helps to recover the simulation in case of a system crash.

The routines behave as follow:

• The checkpoint routine writes the state of Notus at the current time iteration when the routine is called.
• The checkpoint files are located in the checkpoint directory under the output directory.
• The restart routine reads the files located in the checkpoint directory.
• To avoid data corruption, checkpoint information are written alternatively in two sub-directories checkpoint_1 and checkpoint_2 located in the checkpoint directory.
• The checkpoint frequency can be specified in the user interface.
