Hi, In the NGS we have a requirement for a mechanism whereby users can be "charged" different rates when using a resource, depending on which VO they are a member of. By charged I don't mean in monetary terms, but rather in time. So for example using 1 hour of a resource with exchange rate 1 is accounted as one hour of usage for that resource; using an hour of a resource with exchange rate 2 is accounted as 2 hours etc. Such a system will allow resource providers to prioritize usage for different VOs. Does anyone use such a system using GLUE to publish exchange rate information? If necessary we can formulate this requirement into a use case for GLUE 2.0 Matt

In effect the only "currency" so far has been the specint 2k rating. However, we clearly need to change/expand that as we will anyway be moving to new benchmarks, and it may well be that different benchmarks are needed for different applications. Possibly that should be expanded to include charging factors? Stephen
