Module submission LSF_PERL_API

The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:

modid:       LSF_PERL_API
DSLIP:       bdpfo
description: Platform's LSF APIs to be called by perl.
userid:      LSFISV (PlatformISV)
chapterid:   24 (Commercial_Software_Interfaces)
communities:
http://www.hpccommunity.org/forumdisplay.php?f=53

similar:
LSF-Base LSF-Batch

rationale:

There are two modules allowing Platform's LSF APIs to be called by
PERL.

In the Base module, the APIs allow PERL application programs to
contact the Load Information Manager (LIM) and Remote Execution
Server (RES) daemons in order to obtain LSF services. These services
include obtaining static system configuration information and
dynamic load information for the hosts in distributed clusters,
obtaining task placement advice from LIM, executing tasks (UNIX
processes) on remote hosts with a high degree of transparency using
RES, remote file operations across hosts that do not share file
systems, performing remote terminal I/O and signal operations, and
other related functions. The developer can build distributed
applications on top of PERL with these APIs to effectively exploit
the resources available on the network, improving application
performance and resource accessibility.

In the Batch module, the APIs allow PERL application programs to
get information about the hosts, queues, users, jobs and
configuration of the batch system; PERL application programs can
also submit jobs, control hosts, queues and jobs, read batch log
files and write batch error messages.

The resulting entry would be:

LSF_PERL_API      bdpfo Platform's LSF APIs to be called by perl.    LSFISV

The "PERL" and "API" parts of the name are usually assumed because it's
sortware on CPAN.

If this is special software for PlatformISV, maybe it should be named
PaltformISV::LSF or something like that. :)
