GRMS

GridLab Resource Management System

from http://www.gridlab.org/grms:

GridLab Resource Management System (GRMS) is an open source meta-scheduling system, developed under the GridLab Project, which allows developers to build and deploy resource management systems for large scale distributed computing infrastructures. GRMS provides developers of user-level functionalities with a more abstract view of low level and complex Grid technologies. Based on dynamic resource selection and discovery, mapping and advanced scheduling methodology, combined with a feedback control architecture and support from other GridLab Middleware Services, it deals with dynamic Grid environment and resource management challenges, e.g. load-balancing among clusters and various work-load systems, remote job control or file staging support. Therefore, the main goal of GRMS is to manage the whole process of remote job submission and control to various queuing systems (e.g. Condor, PBS, LSF, N1 Grid Engine), clusters systems or resources directly.

Relation to Grid Workflows

• GRMS v2.0.0 will support DAG-based workflows, similar to DAGMan from Condor as well as Petri Net-based workflows.
