I want to understand what people think we need for real interop. The HPC Profile as currently defined seems far from adequate for that purpose. We've mention staging and security as two issues. There are presumably others. Ian. Subramaniam, Ravi wrote: > > Hi Andrew, > > > > One question could be "Is the profile as it stands complete from your > perspective?

HPC profile questionaire draft
by Andrew Grimshaw 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

All, At the OGSA F2F I was tasked with coming up with a series of questions about the HPC profile experiences to go into a zoomerang, so that an experiences paper could be generated - either for HPC profile, JSDL, and/or BES. Here is a start. Note - comment on/add questions. Do NOT answer them!!! That will come later. 1) Will the HPC-Profile be useful to your organization/company? Explain. 2) Will you engineer your products to be hpc-profile compliant? 3) In your opinion, are there any unresolved ambiguities? Explain? 4) Thoughts on the next profile? Anything in particular from BES or JSDL (or other specification) that you would like to include. 5) Approximately how many person-days did it take you to implement the HPC-profile? 6) What would you change in the HPC-profile? Why? Remember this is a STRAWMAN ONLY for discussion! Please add, suggest removal, or modify the above.

Dear All, We have implemented all the interfaces defined in the BES draft v26. Now we want to test the interoperation between other BES implementation and our client. Could you all kindly tell me the username and the password of your endpoint? Thank you very much~ Best Regards, Liang ZHONG Grid Computing Research Group Institute of Advanced Computing Technology, Beihang University Tel: +86 10 8231 6262 Fax: +86 10 8231 6796 Addr: Room 507, Building G,The New Main Building, 37# Xueyuan Rd., Haidian District, Beijing 100083, PRC
