Overview

This is a preliminary design for the PTP Resource Management system. This is the design of the first phase product, which is limited in scope to viewing the state of the resource manager. This includes the machines, jobs, queues, and nodes that are under the resource manager's control. The classes currently in PTP will implement these new interfaces in addition to their previously implemented interfaces.

File:Ptp resource manager view.pdf

Requirements

The Resource Management system is the Eclipse/PTP interface into a host's resource manager. The Resource Manager (RM) is responsible for determining the layout of the system represented by the host's resource manager (HRM). This includes the determination of what machines, and nodes constitute the physical layout of the system, and their status. The RM is also responsible in determining the dynamic structure of the HRM, i.e. what Queues are available for the resource manager, and what Jobs are queued and running within those Queues. This dynamic structure will also comprise Node allocation and Process information for each Job. Examples of HRMs are Torque, LSF, ORTE, or SLURM. Each of these will have corresponding Eclipse/PTP RMs.

The Resource Management system encompasses not only the interface into a host's resource manager, but also specification of the environment with which to build and launch parallel programs. This environment may include such aspects of building and running parallel jobs, as setting compilers, and paths, e.g. LD_LIBRARY_PATH and include paths. This environment may be effected via module files.

The RM will consist of two parts. The first part will reside within the local Eclipse/PTP session. It will contain the interface presented to the user and maintain the local structures necessary to represent the physical and dynamic structure of the HRM. The second part will reside on the host, and be more intimately related to the HRM. This second portion will form a (usually remote) proxy to the HRM. The local RM will forward requests to the HRM and receive asynchronous responses back from the HRM.

In its role of specifying parallel launch environments, the RM may be sensitive to changes in the HRM's version. In order to shield the Eclipse/PTP system from changes in HRM versions, the local interface for the RM's portion of the launch configuration should consist of a set of typed attributes, to be filled by the user, determined by querying the proxy to the HRM. These typed attributes may include memory or time resource allocation limits, or anything else particular to the selected RM's HRM.

Package rm.core

For interfaces and abstract classes, the responsibilities and collaborations refer to concrete objects that are implementations of the interface or abstract class.
