First public release of Octopus
Pre-release
Octopus 0.9-beta
It is the first public release of Octopus. This release is intended to
allow others to experiment with Octopus and provide feedback.
What's there:
The Octopus programming interface should be mostly done. Very little
changes are expected for the final 1.0 release.
Octopus currently contains three adaptors, local, ssh and gridengine.
These adaptor should be mostly functional. See below for what's missing.
The user documentation is 90% done (but will undoubtedly contain lots of typos).
The library has been tested quite extensively under linux.
What's missing:
Octopus has not been tested at all under Windows or OSX.
ssh adaptor does not support environment variables.
gridengine does not support parallel jobs yet (just single core jobs).
Adaptors may not provide adaptor specific information yet.
There is no adaptor writing documentation at the moment.
There is no adaptor specific documentation at the moment.
More adaptors, more interfaces!
