[DRMAA-WG] Conference call - Jun 9th - 19:00 UTC

[Andre Merzky]

Hi DRMAA, 

Quoting [Mariusz Mamo??ski] (Jun 09 2010):
> 
> 3. Job execution time metrics

> and the "wall clock  limit":
>    * wall clock -> real time (i.e. job_end_time - job_start_time)
>    * run duration -> CPU time
> - in general exceeding the *soft* limit cause sending a signal which
> can be caught where *hard* sends SIGKILL
> 
> the decision:

Hmm, why not renaming 'run duration' to 'cpu clock time limit' to
avoid that confusion?  If you guys stumble over it, the end users
certainly will so, too ;-)


> 4. Monitoring jobs not submitted by DRMAA
> - strongly requested by many users
> - security is not a concern (it is usually up to the DRMS policy if
> one user can monitor the other users jobs)
> - not all information may be provided for the jobs submitted outside
> of the DRMAA (e.g. exit code)
> - it should not be a big burden to provide just list of job IDs in the
> MonitoringSession
> 
> the decision:
> to be decided (but more yes than no)

This sounds great! :-)

Best, Andre.
