Sun N1 Grid Engine Integration with GT4

GTRC APSTC AIST

Introduction

 This software provides a Globus GRAM jobmanager script for the Globus Toolkit Version 4 and N1 Grid Engine / Sun Grid Engine (version 5.3 or later). This script works with GT4 WS GRAM as well as Pre-WS GRAM, however it does not work with GT2 GRAM (aka. gatekeeper). Jobmanager script for GT2 is available here.

This script is based on the GT GRAM jobmanager script version 0.11, which was originally developed by London eScience Centre in 2003 and modified by AIST and APSTC in 2004 to add some new features and fix some bugs. This software only provides jobmanager script and the other adapter modules such as Grid Engine Scheduler Event Generator module must be installed separately.

New Features
  • Provides the consistent behavior (semantics) with jobmanager-pbs
    • We modified the original script so that the new script does not use job array submission since job array does not guarantee the number of processors and co-allocation of $count jobs, which leads to inconsistent behavior with jobmanager-pbs.
  • Works with GT4 (both WS GRAM and Pre-WS GRAM).

Installation

 Detailed installation steps are described in INSTALL file. It should be noted that in addition to this jobmanager script, you need to install the other Globus-Grid Engine adapter modules which are offered by GridwiseTech.
