Notes from OGF21 Working Group Session
by Daniel Templeton 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

The session at OGF21 went very well. We had lots of great people in the room, so we were actually able to have a useful conversation. Since I was both trying to lead and take notes, my notes are not comprehensive, but I think they capture the high points. * DRMAA next - First important milestone is ISV buy-in - An important element of a next version is very explicit backwards compatibility - What effect will DRMAA next have on SAGA and vice versa? . It was roughly agreed that if DRMAA next leans towards SAGA, SAGA may consider using DRMAA . Andre Merzky volunteered to work on a sample integration of DRMAA into SAGA . The point was made that while SAGA has its place, so does DRMAA. Being just a submit/monitor/control API may be an advantage in some cases - Resource discovery is an important missing piece . Where is my job running? . What resources are available for my job to run on? - Need to be able to query more info, like the list of submitted jobs (even beyond the session boundary) - Where does JSDL fit in? . On the back end, making DRMAA an API front end of JSDL over HPCP . As a mechanism for sharing job templates among applications - The general agreement was that rather than a monolithic DRMAA next, it would be better to have a series of extension modules for 1.0, and then DRMAA next becomes a blessed assembly of those extensions. . An obvious first module would be utility functions for converting job templates to/from JSDL Daniel

Hi Some days ago I read a mail on this list dealing with a DRMAA implementation for LSF. I was unable to find more information. Does someone has the right pointer so that we can evaluate it ?

Hi, Is the accepted DRMAA document already available somewhere at the official OGF website? All I can see in the docs is still the same old document: http://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.22.pdf -- Piotr Domagalski

DRMAA Logo?
by Daniel Templeton 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I was just thinking that since we're now an official recommendation, perhaps we should have an identifying graphic. Maybe I'm crazy. At any rate. attached is a doodle that sprang to mind. Thoughts? Daniel

Subject: Re: [DRMAA-WG] DRMAA-WG Oct 9, 2007 call Hi, phone is still a problem here. It will be definitely fixed in two weeks, but for today I just drop the conf call. > - DRMAA logo and branding I liked the very last proposals. I see no sense in adding a reference to OGF in our logo, following the argumentation of Dan. > - IDL document version and submission During the registration of the OGF 21 DRMAA session, I created the according folder and provided the link. Therefore, the IDL spec *should* be officially announced as OGF21 spec: https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/listDocuments/projects.drmaa- wg/docman.root.ggf21 Best regards to everybody, Peter. > > Best regards, > Hrabri > -- > drmaa-wg mailing list > drmaa-wg(a)ogf.org > http://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo/drmaa-wg

Thanks a lot John, but it goes without saying this was a team effort. The initial DRMAA-WG group with you at the leadership position gets lots of credit, but it was the long term regulars Andreas, Dan, Peter, Roger, plus the independent development effort of GridWay team under Ignacio Martin Llorente and FedStage team led by Krzysztof Kurowski, and many of our OGF colleagues that made this possible.
