This workshop will introduce general checkpointing strategies and demonstrate practical techniques for Python, C\/C++, and Fortran applications, as well as AI and machine-learning workflows using PyTorch, TensorFlow\/Keras, and JAX.&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Participants will learn how to make long-running jobs resilient to failures, Slurm time limits, preemption, and planned requeue events. Hands-on exercises will cover saving and restoring application state, writing requeue-aware Slurm jobs, handling termination signals, and creating robust checkpoints for machine-learning training.&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;\/strong&gt; This is an in-person session.
