Background

The DRMAA Working Group defines an API for the submission and control of jobs to one or more Distributed Resource Management (DRM) systems. The current version of specification already acts as primary API for Oracle / Sun Grid Engine, other implementations are available for PBS, Torque, Condor, LSF, Globus, LoadLeveler, SLURM, and GridWay. The scope of the specification is all the high level functionality which is necessary for an application to consign a job to a DRM system including common operations on jobs like termination, monitoring, or advance reservation.

The second major release of the specification is about to be finished.

Project Description

The project is intended to produce an implementation of the second version of the DRMAA specification for the Condor cluster framework. The work should be based on the existing code base for the DRMAA version 1 library for Condor. A working implementation is expected to become part of future Condor versions.

Project Requirements

Advanced C resp. C++ programming skills, and a solid understanding of the Condor cluster framework. The intended target platform are Linux 2.6 systems.
