A DRMAA binding for Ruby

DRMAA is an interface standard for job submission and control to Distributed Resource Manager (DRM) systems such as Condor, PBS/OpenPBS/Torque, Platform LSF, Sun's N1 Grid Engine and others. Please see www.drmaa.org and/or DRMAA wiki for more detailed information about DRMAA itself, available implementations, language bindings etc.

Requirements

The binding requires Ruby/DL module as available in Ruby 1.8.4 and a Distributed Resource Manager with shared DRMAA library v0.95 or above. If both is give the binding should work if:

• DRMAA library is found by dynamic linker (LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

• drmaa.rb is found by ruby interpreter

License

The project uses SISSL
