MANA is an implementation of transparent checkpointing for MPI. It is built as a plugin on top of DMTCP.

For details of installing and using MANA, please see:

• MANA documentation (https://mana-doc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
• the MANA 'man' page (or man ./mana.1 on a local copy)

As seen in the MANA documentation, for install and a quick start, do:

git clone https://github.com/mpickpt/mana
cd mana
git submodule init
git submodule update
./configure
make -j8
# Testing on a single host (but see MANA docs for running on a cluster):
PATH_TO_MANA/bin/mana_coordinator
PATH_TO_MANA/bin/mana_launch [mana options] [user_program and args]
