Dear Tokuro Shimokawa,

The time limits are only for restartable Monte Carlo simulations and, as you discovered, do not apply to the current DMRG code. A new DMRG code under development will make checkpoints. Please contact me directly if you urgently need this feature.

best regards

Hello All,

I have some trouble about running dmrg program with command line options. (I am using ALPS 1.3.5 and alps-applications-1.3.5.)

For example, I typed "./dmrg --time-limit 10 myjob.in.xml" for making checkpoint in 10 seconds. However, my prgram does not stop at the scheduled time.

best regards
