Dear HP Profile
WG,
At SC06 there was
some discussion on how to further develop the HPC profile and one topic that was
mentioned was "data staging". think you might be interested in the
attached memo from the OGSA-Data WG, which addresses how to access
data from a job submitted to a BES container. (Data staging is one way of
doing this and is one of the use cases illustrated).
We hypothesise that
a profiled use of JSDL with RNS or WS-Naming might be a useful abstraction that
enables the use of any of these use cases. If so, might this be useful for
the HPC Profile?
We will be
discussing this memo in our second session at OGF19, at 11.00 on the
Thursday. (This is a change of topic from the printed programme).
We'd be delighted if members of the HPC WG would like to join this
discussion.
From our point of
view, this memo illustrates some possible use cases for the services and
interfaces described in the OGSA Data Architecture. These use cases will
be included in our OGSA Data Scenarios document, which is a companion to the
OGSA Data Architecture document.
Best
wishes,
