I am trying to work in an HPC cluster. Mathematica works fine and I can export tables that I need. However, I had one interpolated data saved in as a mx file. I tried to import it, but it gives me some error as this:

DumpGet::bgmx: File /home/someuser/research/Mathematica/trial/file.mx
 does not appear to be a binary file or is corrupted.

This import works totally fine in my PC but the problem is just with the cluster. Would you please help me how to fix the issue?

    $\begingroup$ mx files are system dependent, they do not often transfer between systems very well, if at all. (There are exceptions, however!) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Use Save / Get instead of DumpSave / DumpGet. The former are platform independent. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ alternatively, .wxf format is compact, platform independent and fast (not as fast as mx though). $\endgroup$
