There is a paper, "Job and Process Recovery In A UNIX-based Operating
System", by Brent Kingsbury and John Kline, that talks about UNICOS's
checkpointing/restarting capabilities. It is available in the Cray
documentation distribution, and I would guess directly from Cray.

I also note that the authors have e-mail addresses: they are
brent@yafs.cray.com and jtk@hall.cray.com.
