[DRMAA-WG] Torque/PBS DRMAA - new optional attributes

[Peter Troeger]

JSDL is the answer. It defines a well-discussed set of possible  
attributes and their semantic. But in contrast to DRMAA, there are no  
mandatory attributes in a JSDL document. Making everything optional  
is not the DRMAA style, at least for me.
