[DRMAA-WG] C# DRMAA language binding

[Peter Tröger]

Hi,

thanks for your feedback. We talk about two things - the specification 
of the language binding, and an according implementation as .NET 
library. I can easily provide the first thing, reflecting all recent 
DRMAA decisions. Unfortunately, I currently don't have the time to 
provide an according implementation. The typical approach would be to 
rely on DRMAA C libraries in the implementation, simply by using 
according P/Invoke calls. The DRMAA Java implementation does the same. 
This library then would work with all DRMAA-enabled DRM systems (Condor, 
SGE, Torque, GridWay).

Could you help us with the library implementation work ?

Best regards,
Peter.
