Ability to submit jobs to a DRMAA based resource manager
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: OODT-75
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-75
Project: OODT
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: resource manager, workflow manager
Affects Versions: 0.1-incubating
Environment: none
Reporter: Brian Foster
Assignee: Brian Foster
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.2
Currently at JPL, the ACOS project is funding development to added the ability
to submit CAS jobs to Torque PBS resource manager. In researching this topic,
I found Torque was designed around DRMAA specification and serveral other
resource management/grid components in use today also conform to DRMAA
specification (e.g. Condor, SGE).
I believe this can be approached in two ways (or both):
- Write CAS-Resource plugins (e.g. Monitor, Batchmgr, etc...) such that
CAS-Resource can wrap any resource manager component conforming to the Java
DRMAA specification
- Enable CAS-Workflow manager to submit jobs to a resource manager conforming
to the Java DRMAA specification
The implementation of the Java DRMAA Specification has already been implemented:
- Gridway (http://www.gridway.org) has implement the Java DRMAA specification
and is available for download under Apache licensing
(http://www.gridway.org/doku.php?id=software), and when used with Globus which
is also under Apache Public License (applicable for 4.0.1+) can be used to wrap
DRMAA resource managers.
