Hi! Problem: Running a cluster batch job with Globus, and specifying the jobType to be 'multiple', want a convenient way to instruct each process of the job to pick a unique input from a list passed as an argument in the job description.
This seems to me to be a very obvious usage scenario. I expected each process to get an integer environment variable, maybe something like 'GLOBUS_JOB_PROCESS_INDEX', but I see no such thing. This is GT 4.0.x. Is some other way provided to get such an index? Or to solve my basic problem of providing different inputs to each process? I can think of various ways to do this myself, but what a mess. For instance I could have each process increment a counter in a file, but this will take some careful programming. And it looks like DUROC would be an extreme overkill solution.
