Outstanding! Just give me a couple of weeks to get the next version out. We also should talk about what you mean by "implement," i.e. from scratch or only the SPI. (The Java language binding is divided into two parts. The API should only need to be implemented once. The SPI needs to be implemented for every DRM.) I agree fully with the local implementation idea. It would be relatively easy to write some simple fork and exec version of the DRMAA functions. I've thought about it often, but never had the time.

Andreas Haas, the SGE lead was looking for an active person to collaborate on the "C Bindings DRMAA 1.0 Specification" document, so your entry is very timely. Would you like to engage in such a process?
Sure, I'd be happy to help. I also plan to implement the Java language bindings.
Could you tell us what is the DRM system in question? BTW, few people have asked for a PBS DRMAA implementation in the past.
This is for the United Devices Grid MP product. I also think that a reference stub implementation, that has no dependency on any actual grid system and just runs everything locally, would be useful for prototyping.
