Param Sweep : artf6148 : Matching output with sweep indexes?
by geoff 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Hi folks, As per the artifact I've been trying to think of a way to have the ability to indicate that 'n' distinct jsdl jobs have been created by a sweep but have not been able to define a means of doing so. The principal stumbling block, I believe, is that the job number is effectively a calculated value derived from processing a jsdl sweep element hierarchy and so cannot be defined within such a hierarchy. The nearest (but flawed) potential solution I considered was specifying the use of a reserved word/token within a jsdl document or input template file e.g. <jsdl-posix:Argument>outputDir/@jsdlJobNumber@</jsdl-posix:Argument> such that a JSDL consumer would substitute the respective jsdlJobNumber during sweep processing. One flaw at least would be the requirement for coordination by anybody creating a JSDL document, and also a JSDL consumer, in the use of XPath functions such as substring() e.g. .. <jsdl-posix:Argument>outputDir/@jsdlJobNumber@/example/</jsdl-posix:Argument> .. <sweep:Sweep> <sweep:Assignment> <sweep:DocumentNode> substring(/*//jsdl-posix:Argument[1], 19) </sweep:DocumentNode> <sweep:LoopInteger start="1" end="100" /> </sweep:Assignment> </sweep:Sweep> Anybody aiming to have the LoopInteger value appended to the argument string during processing needs to ignore the length of the @jsdlJobNumber@ character sequence during JSDL specification. Similarly the JSDL processor needs to be aware of the need to make two value substitutions into the Argument during processing. gef

Constraints
by geoff 08 Aug '08

08 Aug '08

Hi folks, A new wiki page has been created to present a proposal for artf6187 - constraint specification ( http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/artf6187 ) http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.jsdl-wg/wiki/ParameterSwe… As usual I'm unsure as to whether I've used the optimum xml schema to achieve the aim, in particular attempting (unsuccesfully so far) to use xsd:unique on the variableName attribute. As a side-effect the option to introduce constraints would also allow the emulation of at least one form of self-modifying sweep ( http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/artf6151?nav=1 ). gef

Parameter Sweep and BES Factory
by Piotr Domagalski 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Hi! I'm just wondering -- is there any agreed view on how Parameter Sweep Extension should interact with BES Factory job submission? My main concern is whether the submission should return an activity that hides all those individual tasks that the parameter sweep produced (say, 1000 jobs from one JSDL...) or should it be possible to somehow treat them individually? The problem with the former is that it would only be possible to get a some kind of heuristic view of the state of the activity (say, the activity is in running state if at least one of the individual tasks has moved to this state). The problem with the later is, in my understanding, the fact that the CreateActivity yields one and only one ActivityIdentifier. -- Piotr Domagalski

sweep within input files
by david meredith 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

Hi, I have updated the wiki for the sweeping of parameters within input files proposal: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.jsdl-wg/wiki/Parame… Updates include: Examples of the new DocumentNode combined with TemplateFile examples. Refined schema (removal of assign attribute in PlaceHolder elements in file-sweep.xsd) Examples showing support for different sets of substitutions within the same file Best regards, dave -- David Meredith e-Science / National Grid Service Science and Technology Facilities Council Daresbury Laboratory Warrington Cheshire WA4 4AD Tel: +44 1925 603762 email: d.j.meredith(a)dl.ac.uk

Parameter Sweep spec - new draft
by Michel Drescher 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

Folks, I updated the Parameter Sweep specification draft according to the artefact assigned to me: - The Parameter element is now abstract - A default "DocumentNode" substitute has been defined with the semantics of the previous, non-abstract Parameter element - heavily revised the document text - Added Geoff as document author (please complete your contact details!)
