Razif,
You can use the command 'save' to store your intermediate results into a
file, and 'load' to restore them. You'll probably also want to save some
indication of which was the most recent result. If I were you, I would
name the intermediate results rather than use '%'.
Without looking at the details of your computation, a few simple questions:
- How confident are you that this computation will complete in a
reasonable amount of time (with or without restarts)? (What do the
intermediate times look like?)
- How confident are you that the final result will be useful? What are
the sizes of the intermediate expressions, and how confident are you that
there will be enough simplifications that the final result will be
manageable?
