Thanks for reporting! I have already replied to the GC3Pie bug report -- but I thought I could provide (for future reference and for Google search results) the set of questions that need to be answered for implementing/extending batch-queuing system support in GC3Pie. For implementing or extending batch-queueing system support in GC3Pie, these info and outputs are needed: * what command is used to submit a job? does it require a shell script or can it submit aribtrary (even binary) commands? what command-line option (or other mechanism) is used to specify that a process requires several CPUs, all on the same node? * what command is used to check the queued/running/finished status of a job? if the job is finished, does this check command exit with a non-zero status? can you provide an example such output for each of the three statuses? (queued/running/finished) * what command is used to check the exit status of a *finished* job? can you provide a sample output? how long after the job has finished does this information persist (i.e., it can be queried via the aforementioned command)? * what command (if any) is used to check the resource usage of a *finished* job? (i.e., how much wall time did it consume, how much CPU time, etc.) can you provide a sample output? how long after the job has finished does this information persist (i.e., it can be queried via the aforementioned command)?
