Doug, Information about the underlying DRM is outside of the current DRMAA specification's scope. There is some chance that such functionality may be addressed in a next generation of the DRMAA spec, but those plans are not yet firm. In the meantime, if you're using SGE, you can use qstat -xml to get cluster information in an XML format. Daniel Doug Haigh wrote On 10/20/05 21:58,:

It does not appear that I as an application developer can get information about the cluster in order to best decide how to split up my application. Is this true?

Can I get the number of hosts involved in the cluster?

Can I get the number of CPUs and memory on those hosts?

Is this future work or is it outside of the DRMAA charter?
