4.5 tracing Commands

Checkpointing is useful for saving the state of the simulator, which allows one to interrupt and resume long simulations, and also examine points of failure in detail.

— Command: save ckpt

Saves the current state of the production rules and nodes into a checkpoint file ckpt. The checkpoint file can be loaded to resume or replay a simulation later.

— Command: load ckpt

Loads a ipple checkpoint file into the simulator state. Loading a checkpoint will not overwrite the current status of the auto-save file, the previous autosave command will keep effect. Loading a checkpoint, however, will close any open tracing streams.
