I am using the ALPS libraries for scheduling and observable handling. I typically have more tasks than cores, especially when debugging on my personal computer. Is it possible to make the scheduler start say the first four jobs and when it's time to write a checkpoint switch to the next four instead of continuing with the first until they are finished?
No, currently it is not possible. Could you tell me a bit more why you need such functionality?
The easiest is just to split the simulation into several input files, each containing four instances and then run them alternatingly for some fixed time.
