NB Kapil, would you be kind to clarify the relation/comparison?

i.e. like :

$> apt-cache show dmtcp
Package: dmtcp
Version: 1.2.5-1
Installed-Size: 1889
Maintainer: Kapil Arya <ka...@ccs.neu.edu>
Architecture: amd64
Depends: libmtcp1, libc6 (>= 2.9), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1)
Description-en: Checkpoint/Restart functionality for Linux processes
 DMTCP (Distributed MultiThreaded Checkpointing) is a tool to transparently
 checkpointing the state of an arbitrary group of programs including
 multi-threaded and distributed computations.  It operates directly on the user
 binary executable, with no Linux kernel modules or other kernel mods.
 .
 Among the applications supported by DMTCP are OpenMPI, MATLAB, Python, Perl,
 and many programming languages and shell scripting languages.  DMTCP also
 supports GNU screen sessions, including vim/cscope and emacs. With the use of
 TightVNC, it can also checkpoint and restart X-Window applications, as long
 as they do not use extensions (e.g.: no OpenGL, no video).
