Working Group

Develop an API specification for the submission and control of jobs to one or more Distributed Resource Management (DRM) systems. The scope of this specification is all the high level functionality which is necessary for an application to consign a job to a DRM system including common operations on jobs like termination or suspension. The objective is to facilitate the direct interfacing of applications to today's DRM systems by application's builders, portal builders, and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs).

You can find all specifications in the documents section of this home page. Implementations of DRMAA are discussed on a separate page.
We collected a number of usage stories for DRMAA in science and industry.
If you want to implement DRMAA, you can use the official DRMAA compliance test suite.
All open and resolved issues regarding the documents are maintained in the GridForge Issue Tracker
.
