RMMC.tex

The Resource Manager/Monitor and Control Interface is intended to access both low level and abstracted information from the monitor and control system (if available), much like the Resource Manager/Operating System Interface (section \ref{sec:RMOS}).
The resource manager is in a somewhat unique position of providing a range of functionality depending on the specific implementation.
The resource manager role includes functionality such as batch schedulers and allocators as well as potential portions of tightly integrated runtime and launch systems.
The resource manager may require fairly low level measurement information to make decisions and potentially store historic information for consumption by the user role (for example). 
In contrast to the Resource Manager/Operating System Interface (section \ref{sec:RMOS}) this interface includes the capability to mine information from the Monitor and Control system in situations where the Resource Manager does not retain historic data itself.
The resource manager may also play a very large role in controlling power and energy pertinent functionally on both a application and platform basis in response to facility restrictions (power capping or energy aware scheduling for example).

\subsection{Supported Attributes}\label{sec:RMMCAttributes}
A significant amount of functionality for this interface is exposed through the attribute functions (section \ref{sec:Attributes}).
The attribute functions in conjunction with the following attributes (Table \ref{table:RMMC}) expose numerous measurement  (get) and control (set) capabilities to the resource manager.

\begin{attributetable}{Resource Manager, Monitor and Control - Supported Attributes }{table:RMMC}
