ENH: restart simulations from saved state #2

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be an extremely useful feature to implement restarting of the 
simulation from a saved state on disk. 

The following could probably be a way to do it:
  * A save_state component could save the particle arrays and pickle any additional data required
  * A load_state component would load the data from the files

Serial case would probably be easier to implement. In the parallel case the 
saved_state could be made independent of parallelization so that the simulation 
can be restarted using different number of processes. A check can also be 
inserted so that same parallelized state is restored if restarted on same 
number of processes
