Hi,

What is the state of fault tolerance support on Cray XE systems (in
particular, Blue Waters) with respect to allowing user code to catch node
failures. Can the runtime notify the user program that a node has failed, and
allow the user program to handle the failure, and perhaps to keep running,
taking the loss of the node and any associated objects into account?
