[DRMAA-WG] Release of GridWay 5.4

[Rajic, Hrabri]

3 new bindings!?  Great!

Could you update DRMAA implementations on http://www.drmaa.net/w/DrmaaImplementations ?


Peter,

Your recent DRMAA.org implementations image just become obsolete - also good news.

Regards

        Hrabri

Subject: [DRMAA-WG] Release of GridWay 5.4

Dear all,

On behalf of the GridWay team, I am pleased to announce that a new
stable release of the GridWay Metascheduler is now available for
download. Users who wish to receive the latest bug fixes are
encouraged to install this release. This version is also shipped with
the newly released Globus Toolkit 4.2.0.

New to this release are the new DRMAA bindings for scripting languages
(perl, ruby,python).

Thanks for your support!

Tino.

================================================
GridWay 5.4
================================================

ENHANCEMENTS:

This stable release is based on the previous development release,
GridWay 5.3, which has been thoroughly tested and documented.
- Integration with major Grid Infrastructures
Following the trend from previous releases, GridWay 5.4 is capable of
integrate with another major infrastructure: NorduGrid. Drivers for
Execution and Transfer are included in this release.

- New DRMAA bindings for scripting languages
Previous GridWay releases come with support for C and Java bindings
implementing the DRMAA standard. GridWay 5.4 includes bindings to
access the DRMAA standard from scripting languages such as Perl, Ruby
and Python. Scripting languages are interesting from the point of view
of rapid application prototyping among others.

- Implementation of DRMAA Java Binding v1.0
GridWay now provides support for DRMAA Java Binding v1.0. DRAMAA Java
bindings are also included to support legacy applications.

- Support for DAGMAN workflows
There is an increasing interest from the scientific community to be
able to run complex workflows on a Grid environment. An almost de-
facto standard to represent DAG workflows is Condor DAGMAN. In this
release, GridWay includes a new workflow launcher (gwdag) that handles
this kind of workflows.
