> 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

> 
> 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
