[drmaa-wg] New release of the GridWay meta-scheduler

[Ignacio Martín Llorente]

Dear friends,

The new development release of the GridWay meta-scheduler is available 
for download under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0 (see the 
full announcement below).

GridWay now provides full support for DRMAA to develop distributed 
applications (C and JAVA bindings) on a grid consisting of distinct 
computing platforms (SGE, PBS, LSF…) managed by Globus services. DRMAA C 
implementation passes the DRMAA compliance testsuite and DRMAA JAVA 
implementation has been tested with the howtos provided by Sun Microsystems.

Please visit the DRMAA References and the Application Developer Guide at 
http://www.gridway.org/guides.php

Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any additional information.

Sincerely,

Ignacio M. Llorente

NEW DEVELOPMENT RELEASE (4.7.0) OF THE GRIDWAY META-SCHEDULER

The GridWay team is pleased to announce that a new development release 
(4.7.0) of the GridWay meta-scheduler is available for download under 
the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0.

ABOUT THE GRIDWAY META-SCHEDULER:

GridWay, on top of Globus services, enables large-scale, secure, 
reliable and efficient sharing of computing resources (clusters, 
computing farms, servers, supercomputers...), managed by different DRM 
(distributed resource management) systems, such as  PBS, SGE, LSF, 
Condor..., within a single organization (enterprise grid) or scattered 
across several administrative domains (partner or supply-chain grid). 
GridWay is an open-source meta-scheduling technology that provides end 
users and application developers with a scheduling framework similar to 
that found on local DRM systems, allowing to submit, monitor, 
synchronize and control jobs by means of  a DRM-like CLI (gwsubmit, 
gwwait, gwcancel, gwkill...) and the DRMAA API (GGF standard).

HIGHLIGHTS:

- Easy deployment and adaptability
- Improved efficiency and robustness
- Advanced scheduling capabilities, such as dynamic discovery & 
selection, opportunistic migration, performance slowdown detection and 
support for self-adaptive applications.
- Information drivers to interface MDS2 (MDS schema), MDS2 (Glue schema) 
and MDS4
- Execution drivers to interface pre-WS GRAM and WS GRAM (even both 
simultaneously)
- Transfer drivers to interface GridFTP and RFT.
- Full support for DRMAA (GGF standard) to develop distributed 
applications (C and JAVA bindings).
- Extended DRM-like commands to submit, monitor, synchronize and control 
jobs; and monitor grid resources
- Extended documentation and improved support forum
