- Condor
A job scheduler mechanism supported by GRAM. See http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/ for more information.
L
- LSF
A job scheduler mechanism supported by GRAM.
For more information, see http://www.platform.com/Products/Platform.LSF.Family/Platform.LSF/.
M
- multijob
A job that is itself composed of several executable jobs; these are processed by the MMJS subjob.
See also MMJS subjob.
P
- Portable Batch System (PBS)
A job scheduler mechanism supported by GRAM. For more information, see http://www.openpbs.org.
R
S
- scheduler
Term used to describe a job scheduler mechanism to which GRAM interfaces. It is a networked system for submitting, controlling, and monitoring the workload of batch jobs in one or more computers. The jobs or tasks are scheduled for execution at a time chosen by the subsystem according to an available policy and availability of resources. Popular job schedulers include Portable Batch System (PBS), Platform LSF, and IBM LoadLeveler.
- scheduler adapter
The interface used by GRAM to communicate/interact with a job scheduler mechanism. In GT 4.x, this is both the perl submission scripts and the SEG program.
- Scheduler Event Generator (SEG)
The Scheduler Event Generator (SEG) is a program which uses scheduler-specific monitoring modules to generate job state change events. Depending on scheduler-specific requirements, the SEG may need to run with privileges to enable it to obtain scheduler event notifications. As such, one SEG runs per scheduler resource. For example, on a host which provides access to both PBS and fork jobs, two SEGs, running at (potentially) different privilege levels will be running. One SEG instance exists for any particular scheduled resource instance (one for all homogeneous PBS queues, one for all fork jobs, etc). The SEG is implemented in an executable called the globus-scheduler-event-generator, located in the Globus Toolkit's libexec directory.
- superuser do (sudo)
Allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while logging the commands and arguments. See http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/ for more information.
W
- Web Services Addressing (WSA)
The WS-Addressing specification defines transport-neutral mechanisms to address web services and messages. Specifically, it defines XML elements to identify web service endpoints and to secure end-to-end endpoint identification in messages. See the W3C WS Addressing Working Group for details.
