by Ali Anjomshoaa 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Dear all, Please take note that we are cancelling the final session of the JSDL-WG at 15:30 in Regent 2. This has been yet another very successful GGF for us and we have managed to complete all of our agenda in 4 sessions. The slides for the 5 project presentations and 1 DRMAA presentation will be on GridForge soon. I will send another e-mail to say where they are. Cheers and take care, Ali (on behalf of the JSDL-WG) -- ---------------------------------------------------- |epcc| - Ali Anjomshoaa EPCC, University of Edinburgh James Clerk Maxwell Building Mayfield Road E-mail: ali(a)epcc.ed.ac.uk Edinburgh EH9 3JZ Phone: + 44 (0) 131 651 3388 United Kingdom Fax: + 44 (0) 131 650 6555 -------------------------------------------------------------

JSDL: GGF14 sessions
by Ali Anjomshoaa 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hi everyone, please find the agendas for the JSDL sessions attached below. We will have project presentations from those already working with JSDL in session 2, on Wed. 29th at 11:00, in the Michigan meeting room. Please come along and hear how JSDL is already being used in Grids. Cheers and take care, Ali -- ---------------------------------------------------- |epcc| - Ali Anjomshoaa EPCC, University of Edinburgh James Clerk Maxwell Building Mayfield Road E-mail: ali(a)epcc.ed.ac.uk Edinburgh EH9 3JZ Phone: + 44 (0) 131 651 3388 United Kingdom Fax: + 44 (0) 131 650 6555 ------------------------------------------------------------- JSDL #1: ======== - Introductions - Overview of the spec and schema - Scope for JSDL 1.0 JSDL #2: ======== - Project presentations and use cases (see abstracts below) - GridSAM (OMII) - NAREGI - HPCEuropa - UniGrids JSDL #3: ======== - Public comment and open discussion JSDL #4: ======== - Post v1.0 tracker and a look ahead. JSDL #5: ======== - Group logistics: - Outstanding issues. ---------------- Project Presentation Abstracts: ------------------------------- - GridSAM (OMII) "GridSAM JSDL Job Submission Interface" GridSAM is an open-source job submission and monitoring web service based around JSDL and WS-I. GridSAM consumes a JSDL document, supplied through a Web Service interface, and converts this to an underlying DRM format. It submits an appropriate job to the underlying DRM submission system through DRM plug-ins. GridSAM maps file staging to the underlying DRM or provides alternative staging if the underlying DRM cannot perform this. Currently DRM plug-ins are available for Condor, Globus, SSH submission and local job forking. - NAREGI "An experimental implementation of a JSDL based job submission system" NAREGI has developed an experimental implementation of a JSDL based job submission system. In this presentation, we will explain about the target use case, the architecture, how JSDL is used, and post V1 discussion, then show demonstration. - HPCEuropa "HPC-Europa and JSDL" HPC-Europa is a big project which aims to provide advanced computational services in an integrated way to the European research community. One of project's goals is to build the Single Point of Access to resources of European HPC centers. HPC-Europa centers use various Grid middleware including UNICORE, GRIA middleware, and three Grid schedulers based on the Globus Toolkit: GRMS, eNANOS, and JOSH. Each of these systems uses its own interface and job description language. Therefore we decided to design a uniform job submission interface based on JSDL. User requests are translated dynamically to the site-specific interfaces by the Single Point of Access portal. In this presentation we show a subset of JSDL that was used to build a uniform job submission interface and extensions which have been added. Methods for adaptation of portlets' GUI to the functionality of grid job submission services are presented, too. We also discuss advantages as well as problems concerning use of JSDL in the HPC-Europa project. - UniGrids "UniGrids and JSDL" The UniGrids project uses JSDL at a number of critical locations within the Unicore/GS architecture. The uses within the basic Atomic Service layer and within the Resource Broker shall be outlined, as well as a client-side library for translating simple legacy UNICORE workflows into JSDL.

JSDL: GGF14 presentations sought
by Ali Anjomshoaa 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

Hi everyone, o Are you involved in a project that uses or is planning to use JSDL? o Do you have an implementation of a job submission interface, a job description translator, or a job management system that uses JSDL? o Are you or a fellow project member attending GGF14 in Chicago next week? o Would you like to present your work to the JSDL-WG at GGF14? We are seeking more presentations for GGF14 so that we can see how JSDL is being used in the field. Version 1.0 of the Spec and schema have been submitted to the GGF editor and we are keen to find out your opinions. Please e-mail me with a presentation title and brief (few lines) abstract for a 15 min presentation ( + 10 min discussion), if you'd like to participate. Cheers and take care, Ali -- ---------------------------------------------------- |epcc| - Ali Anjomshoaa EPCC, University of Edinburgh James Clerk Maxwell Building Mayfield Road E-mail: ali(a)epcc.ed.ac.uk Edinburgh EH9 3JZ Phone: + 44 (0) 131 651 3388 United Kingdom Fax: + 44 (0) 131 650 6555 -------------------------------------------------------------

JSDL 1.0 (draft 21) submitted to GGF Editor
by Andreas Savva 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

As agreed at yesterday's call I have submitted JSDL 1.0 (draft 21) to the GGF Editor today. GGF typically takes a few weeks before releasing drafts for formal public comment. With GGF14 in less than 2 weeks time it is likely that the formal comments period will start sometime in July. We will send an email to the list when the process starts. But you do not need to wait if you have comments. Please email the list or join one of the JSDL 1.0 review sessions scheduled for GGF14. About draft 21: The changes from draft 20 are editorial. The only exception is the jsdl-posix namespace change to 2005/06; no other change in the schema though. https://forge.gridforum.org/projects/jsdl-wg/document/draft-ggf-jsdl-spec/e… -- Andreas Savva Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd

Question on file stage-in (fwd)
by Ali Anjomshoaa 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

Andrew's e-mail bounced... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2005 15:18:05 -0400 From: Andrew Grimshaw <grimshaw(a)cs.virginia.edu> To: jsdl-wg(a)gridforum.org Subject: Question on file stage-in All, I am new to this working group and have a question on the specification. In the data staging elements there is a creation flag that indicates whether to over-write or append. Often, one only wants to overwrite if the target and the source are different, for example if I am using a large data set that changes infrequently or several jobs on the same resource will use the "same" input file. Is there a way to do conditional stage in? I know the document says "More complex file transfers, for example, conditional transfers based on job termination status are out of scope. " But we're talking about a major performance optimization. Andrew
