Dear all, please remember to work actively on the set of new monitoring attributes for DRMAAv2. The table is still open for everybody: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rrAIK9utkSoDQXF8kasYCLQ I recently added the job monitoring possibilities from the viewpoint of Condor.

26 May 2009 Meeting Minutes
---------------------------
o Minutes from previous meeting accepted o Results of research into JSDL requestable resources in Google Docs - http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rrAIK9utkSoDQXF8kasYCLQ - The set of monitorable attributes is not the same as the set of the requestable attributes - Easiest way to handle monitoring resources would be like the job template . Some required, some optional, openly extensible - Should be able to monitor jobs that aren't in your session, just like drmaa_job_ps() . Means that we need to be able to report attributes we'd normally expect to have known fixed values . Also need to consider that job attributes can be altered after submission, by user or admin - Two ways to pick resources: find the intersection of all DRM-supported attributes or find out if all support the ones we want . Easier to check if all support the ones we think are important . host name - the name of the host on which the job (or master task) is running . slave names - the names of the hosts on which the job's slave tasks are running . anything that can be set in the job template . submission host - the name of the host from which the job was submitted . job owner - the name of the user who submitted the job . wallclock time - amount of time since the job was started . CPU time - amount of CPU seconds consumed . submission time, dispatch time, start time, finish time . wallclock limit - amount of time remaining until the job will be terminated . memory usage and limits ~ What to do about parallel jobs? Want to know what every slave is doing; maybe a separate attribute . data? Not reported by all DRMs . host information - OS, architecture, etc. - maybe let the user figure it out from the host name ~ Expand the API to allow for querying host information o Need to complete list of attribute proposals and then check if it's mappable to all DRMs o DRMAA face-to-face at ISC will be June 23rd and 24th in Hamburg
