4. JobTemplate structuring proposals
Discussion of Mariusz proposals: http://fury.man.poznan.pl/~mmamonski/wiki/index.php/DRMAAv2/JobTemplate_-_Bi... - General agreement that we want a job template (JT) struct type in DRMAA-C for 2.0 - Decision that applications should be able to interface multiple DRMAA libraries from one source code - Known examples from DRMAA 1.0 world - meta schedulers - Using implementation-specific JT attributes should not lead to compilation errors then - Option II by Mariusz is out - Option III is a good candidate - one standardized JT attribute which contains all impl.-specific attribute values as dictionary - Leads to the question how this is different from native specification - Majority decision that this makes nativeSpecification attribute obsolete - DRMAA implementors are then enforced to model all their native features in according impl.-specific attributes of the JT - Frees implementation from parsing and analyzing the native specification - Seems to be reasonable for SGE (list of qsub options), Condor (universe specification) and PBS / LSF (maps nativeSpecification anyway to parameter dictionary)
5. Other open issues
- ISC starts in Hamburg this Saturday, Dan is there and would be able to do some DRMAA F2F work - Plan for big final F2F meeting in Potsdam, organized by Peter, somewhere around July / August
