Has there been any thought or discussion on how to represent power usage of a job within the jsdl requirement. Maybe one way to derive the power requirement is from the cpu, memory, network etc. requirments and map it to power models of the execution environment. But has there been any thought of a job explicitly specifying power requirements.
You mean power as in "quantity measured in Watts"? Assuming that's the case, I'd tend to view it as a quality-of-service (i.e. non-functional) requirement, and also one that is out of our current scope. As such, you'd probably want to use a custom extension term to describe the power requirements, and something like WS-Agreement to drive the enforcement. (OTOH, I don't have access to any sort of system at the moment which could support such a term anyway; all our production kit doesn't know anything about its power consumption.) Hope this helps (a little). Donal.
