Compute-intensive and native-execution properties

Properties specified through the wSGrid properties file describe the grid job to be run under the control of WSGrid. This topic describes a set of compute-intensive and native-execution properties.

Compute-intensive properties

The following properties describe a compute intensive job comprised of a single step, providing an xJCL-less methodology for describing a compute intensive job. Specifying these properties is mutually exclusive with specification of an xJCL file on the WSGrid command-line invocation and with use of the repository-job property.

Table 1. Compute-intensive properties
Property name Description
ci-class-name Specifies the name of the implementation class for the compute intensive batch job step.

Native-execution properties

The following properties describe a native execution job comprised of a single step, providing an xJCL-less methodology for describing a native execution job. Specifying these properties is mutually exclusive with specification of an xJCL file on the WSGrid command line invocation and with use of the repository-job property.

Table 2. Native-execution properties
Property name Description
executable Specifies the command-line string to run in a native process.
arg-line Specifies the command line argument string to pass to the native executable.
env-var.<envvar name> Specifies the value of a name environment variable to set in the native process. This property can be specified multiple times, once for each unique environment variable to set for the specified executable.
