Hi,
All the discussion I've seen about this profile so far has
focussed on specifying and submitting jobs, but the proposed charter says that
this is only one of two areas of interest; the other being data staging.
The immediate question is what link will this profile work have to the Data
Movement Interface Specification group? Will the profile refer to the DMIS
spec in the same way that it will refer to JSDL and BES? (Of course,
JSDL also covers data staging to some extent).
Work is also continuing on the data aspects of the OGSA
architecture, in the OGSA Data WG. I would encourage the HPC profile
group to engage with the OGSA Data group and the DMIS group concerning how
to fit data staging into the overall architecture.
Unfortunately I won't be in Tokyo next week but it would be
useful if members of these groups could get together there to agree a working
relationship.
Best wishes,
Dave.
Hi;
Enclosed is an initial draft of the OGSA HPC profile
working group charter. This will be brought up for discussion at the HPC
profile BoF at the upcoming GGF17 conferenece in Tokyo. In the mean
time, please feel free to comment on the draft via email to this mailing
list.
Thanks,
