      <title>Extending job dependency scheduling to array job sub-tasks</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;More Rising Sun news ...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.rsp.com.au/about_rsp.htm"&gt;Rising Sun Pictures&lt;/a&gt;, an Australian visual effects house (&lt;a href="http://gridengine.info/articles/2007/05/01/sge-render-farm-at-rising-sun-pictures"&gt;previous mention&lt;/a&gt;) has released a specification document entitled "&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://open.rsp.com.au/?page_id=11"&gt;Grid Engine Array Task Dependency Specification&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;"
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The spec is well written and backwards compatibility is assured. The use cases come from digital film and frame rendering. The main goal is to extend the ability of the SGE scheduler to handle array job tasks that themselves may be dependent on the successful completion of other array jobs or even sub-tasks of other jobs. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The full specification is here and well worth a read:&lt;br/&gt;
