Release Notes 5.7

GridWay 5.7 is the new development version of the fifth series of the metascheduler.

Release date: March 31st, 2011.

GridWay core and commands are now configured, built and installed separately from the MADs, which have their own Makefile.

This way, GridWay installation does not depend on the installation of a given middleware.

Job state is polled at randomized intervals, to avoid saturation due to multiple simultaneous requests. Moreover, the interval is duplicated when a failure occurs.

A technology preview of an execution driver for CREAM, the job submission and management interface of gLite, is included in this release.

A technology preview of an execution driver for OGSA-BES, the OGF specification for job submission and management, is included in this release.

The following bugs have been fixed:

• Bug #86: Problems with java.util.Calendar
• Bug #87: Architecture platform always shows i686 from the bdii IM MAD
• Bug #89: Abort migration due to suspension if job becomes active

This bug was fixed on April 11th (GridWay 5.7.1):

• Bug #90: Problem loading MADs in multiple-user mode
