Folks,

 

As chairs of the OGSA HPC Profile WG, Marvin Theimer and I think that we’re getting sufficiently close to having a profile defined that we’d like to issue the call for implementers of the OGSA HPC Profile.

 

While there is clearly some more work to be done on the current HPC Profile draft (and the BES spec), we believe that certain ambiguities in the current HPC Profile can only be identified and resolved when parties try to get their implementations to speak with each other.

 

We seek implementers to (a) help solidify the profile through direct interoperability testing, and (b) help define the compliance suite.

 

Therefore, we encourage people interested in prototyping an implementation to email me (Marty Humphrey).

 

The current version of the HPC Profile spec can be found at: http://forge.ggf.org/sf/go/doc13736?nav=1

 

Thanks a bunch!

Marty
