Question about restarting the simulation
zhangli28 opened this issue · 2 comments
Dear @Status-Mirror,
I have a question regarding restarting the code from dumped files.
restart_dump_every = 0
implies that the code can be restarted from any of the dumped files. And
restart_dump_every = -1
implies no resatable file except first (if final is still not reached due to exceeding the allowed wall time on supercomputer)
Is it possible to make every "nth" file to be restartable (nth may be every 10th or 20th file)?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Zhang
Hey Zhang,
Yes, you have read the documentation right. It should be pretty obvious which files are restart dumps, because they'll be significantly larger than the other output files.
Some examples of other ways to restart the simulation are given on our basic examples page.
Cheers,
Stuart
