for the description of simple tasks to non-interactive computer execution systems. Currently at version 1.0 (released November 7, 2005), the specification focuses on the description of computational task submissions to traditional high-performance computer systems like batch schedulers.

Description

JSDL describes the submission aspects of a job, and does not attempt to describe the state of running or historic jobs. Instead, JSDL includes descriptions of: * Job name, description * Resource requirements that computers must have to be eligible for scheduling, such as total RAM available, total swap available, CPU clock speed, number of CPUs,

Operating System An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs. Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also in ...

, etc. * Execution limits, such as the maximum amount of CPU time, wallclock time, or memory that can be consumed. * File staging, or the transferring of files before or after execution. * Command to execute, including its command-line arguments, environment variables to define, stdin/stdout/stderr redirection, etc.
