DRMAA Specification Documents
DRMAA IDL 1.0 Proposed Grid Recommendation (GFD.130)
The next major release of DRMAA will be based on an IDL-description of the API.
This document therefore provides an improved and more general description of the
GFD.22 DRMAA concepts. It should be the starting point for all new language binding
documents, implementations and documentations.
DRMAA 1.0 Grid Recommendation (GFD.133)
This document is an OGF Grid Recommendation, and acts as the normative base for
other DRMAA specifications. Achieving Grid Recommendation status signifies that
the DRMAA is being adopted within the distributed computing community. The standard
had to pass several hurdles (as documented in OGF document GFD.1), including the
demonstration of interoperable implementations and the approval by the GFSG.
DRMAA Python Language Binding (GFD.143)
This is the DRMAA language binding for the Python programming language, based on GFD.130.
DRMAA C Binding v1.0
This is the DRMAA language binding to the C programming language, based on GFD.22. It is widely implemented, but not formally standardized so far.
DRMAA Java Binding v1.0
This is the DRMAA language binding for the Java programming language, based on GFD.130. It is widely implemented, but not formally standardized so far.
