Fork Job Manager

1.1

This package contains the "fork" interface to the GRAM Job Manager. It is a setup package; the script setup-globus-job-manager-fork must be run to register a fork job manager with the Gatekeeper as a service.

Options to setup-globus-gram-job-manager-fork

-service-name=NAME: Set the job manager service name to be NAME. The default service name for a Fork job manager is "jobmanager-fork". See globus_gram_resource_manager_contact for information on how the service name is used by GRAM.

Fork Scheduler-Specific RSL Attributes

The fork job manager does not support any scheduler-specific RSL attributes.

Change Log

globus_gram_job_manager_setup_fork 1.0

Split from the core of the Job Manager as a setup package.

The test for mpirun is done at the time this package is set up. If mpirun is not found at that time, the job manager will return the error GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_ERROR_JOBTYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED instead of GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_ERROR_MPIRUN_NOT_FOUND.

The fork job manager ignores some RSL attributes (host_count, max_cpu_time, max_memory, max_time, max_wall_time, min_memory, project, queue). Previous versions of the fork job manager would catch errors in improper values for these attributes (such as a negative max memory). In this version, errors in those attributes are ignored.
