Dear all, the next GLUE call is scheduled for Monday 2 February, 4:15 PM CET: http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.glue-wg/wiki/PhoneMeeting… By the end of the weekend I plan to send the new GLUE draft and the list of open issues. For those involved in the following action, please provide your contribution by Monday lunch time: "Write descriptive introductory paragraph for each class to be added before each table * Sergio: Main entities * Balazs: 6.1-6.5 * Stephen: 6.6-6.10 * Maarten: 7.1-7.5 * Paul: 7.6.7.9 " Today we have no call. Cheers, Sergio -- Sergio Andreozzi INFN-CNAF, Viale Berti Pichat, 6/2 40127 Bologna (Italy) Web: http://www.cnaf.infn.it/~andreozzi

Entity descriptions
by Burke, S (Stephen) 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Hi, I have an action to provide general descriptions for half of the computing entities, and this is my attempt. I think we also need better descriptions for many of the attributes, but I'd rather do that by editing the file. I'm not sure if we should say anything about how GLUE 1 concepts map to GLUE 2, but it may be helpful. ExecutionEnvironment The ExecutionEnvironment class describes the hardware and operating system environment in which a job will run. It represents a set of homogeneous Worker Nodes, so if a computing system contains nodes with significantly different properties there may be several ExecutionEnvironment instances. (This is similar to the GlueSubCluster object in GLUE 1.) This implies that it should be possible to request a specific environment when a job is submitted. The ExecutionEnvironment may refer to virtual rather than physical machines. As well as attributes describing a typical node, the class gives summary information about the size and usage of the set of nodes which posess those properties. However, there is no way to relate these to the information in other entities, e.g. it is not possible to know which jobs in a given ComputingShare are running on which ExecutionEnvironment. ApplicationEnvironment The ApplicationEnvironment class describes the software environment in which a job will run, i.e. what pre-installed software will be available to it. Each Application is identified by a name (the AppName attribute); these names are not defined within the schema, but SHOULD be assigned in a way which allows applications to be uniquely identifed. The properties of installed software may vary substantially, but the attributes of the class cover the most common cases, in particular for licensed software. If necessary, additional information can be added using the OtherInfo attribute and the Extension class. ApplicationHandle The ApplicationHandle class is an extension to ApplicationEnvironment for applications which need to be set up in some way before they can be used. For each supported setup method a string can be specified, the interpretation of which is specific to the method - in the simplest case this could just be a setup script to execute. ComputingActivity The ComputingActivity class represents a single (but possibly multi-processor) job. The attributes give the job properties and state as seen by the local batch system, together with some Grid-level information. ToStorageService The ToStorageService class represents the case where a filesystem from a Storage Service is available to jobs running on a Computing Service via posix access, e.g. as an NFS mount. Each ToTorageService instance represents a single mount point. It is assumed that such mounts are available on all nodes (i.e. all Execution Environments) in the Computing Service.

Dear all, the next GLUE call is scheduled for Wednesday, 21 Jan, 4 PM CET: http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.glue-wg/wiki/PhoneMeeting… in this call, we will discuss the last open issues related to the Policy class. For Balazs, please confirm that you can attend it. For Flavia, there are no more storage issues, therefore there is no need for you to connect. Wish you a good weekend, Sergio -- Sergio Andreozzi INFN-CNAF, Tel: +39 051 609 2860 Viale Berti Pichat, 6/2 Fax: +39 051 609 2746 40127 Bologna (Italy) Web: http://www.cnaf.infn.it/~andreozzi

GLUE calls - schedule for Jan09
by Sergio Andreozzi 06 Jan '09

06 Jan '09

Dear all, at the following page, I've proposed the GLUE call schedule for January 2009: http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.glue-wg/wiki/PhoneMeetings Due to a new job that I will start at the University of Bologna, I need to change the current slots as follows: * postpone the start of the call to 4 PM * move the Thursday call slot to Wednesday Please, let me know if you have problems with this. This set of call should be enough to finish the discussion of the pending issues for the two GLUE documents and send them to the OGF editor for being promoted to Proposed Recommendation. Best regards, Sergio -- Sergio Andreozzi INFN-CNAF, Tel: +39 051 609 2860 Viale Berti Pichat, 6/2 Fax: +39 051 609 2746 40127 Bologna (Italy) Web: http://www.cnaf.infn.it/~andreozzi

This clashes with the Glue Schema phone conference.
