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. _____ From: owner-ogsa-wg@ggf.org [mailto:owner-ogsa-wg@ggf.org] On Behalf Of Marvin Theimer Sent: 05 May 2006 01:48 To: ogsa-wg@ggf.org Subject: [ogsa-wg] Initial draft of HPC profile working group charter Hi; Enclosed is an initial draft of the OGSA HPC profile working group charter.
