 Remove or rename the file ''morpheus.db.sqlite'' to reset the job archive. Note that this does not remove the simulation results themselves.
-==== Checkpointing (simulation snapshots) ====
-** Checkpointing **
-Storing snapshots of the simulation state during execution is called [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_checkpointing|checkpointing]].
-This allows the user to e.g.:
-  * Restore a simulation
-  * Continue a simulation under different conditions
-  * Use the end-state of a simulation as initial condition of a new simulation \\
-** Enable checkpointing **
-Checkpointing is switched off by default.
-To enable checkpointing, add the item ''Time -> SaveInterval''.
-To set the interval, set the ''Time -> SaveInterval -> value''.
-Special cases:
-  * value = -1: Disable checkpointing
-  * value =  0: Store state only at start and end
-  * value >  0: Store state at specified time interval
-** File format **
-Snapshots are saved in a compressed XML format with the filename ''[Title][Time].xml.gz''.
-** Open saved models **
-Snapshot files ''[Title][Time].xml.gz'' can be opened by double-clicking on them in the GUI.
-From the command line, first unzip the file and then run ''morpheus [Title][Time].xml''
-** Limitations **
-The snapshots store the complete simulation state. However, the values of **PDE Layers are not stored**.
-This is excluded because of (1) the large storage requirements and (2) the required time to write to text file. (In the future, separate binary files will be written for PDE Layeres which can be stored and written more efficiently, but are more difficult to do in a platform independemt fashion.)
-** Restore parameter sweeps **
-Parameter sweeps can also be restored. This restores the parameters and value ranges specified for a particular model.
-This feature requires an opened model that has the same parameters.
-===== Settings =====
-==== Multithreading / Concurrent jobs ====
-  - Number of threads: Used to set number of openMP threads for (in-job parallelization)
-  - Concurrent jobs: number of jobs executed in parallel (between-job parallelization)
-==== Gnuplot path ====
-By default, Morpheus uses the first GnuPlot executable it can find in the PATH environmental variable.
-Optionally, you can overrule this path.
-** Graphical User Interface **
-To use a specific GnuPlot version, specify you gnuplot executable under ''File -> Settings -> Local -> Gnuplot executable''.
-** Command Line Interface **
-To specify a gnuplot executable from the command line, you can use the ''gnuplot-part'' option as command line argument:
-<code bash>
-  morpheus -gnuplot-path [File]
