Re: [ogsa-dmi-wg] DMI at GIN-Data
by James Casey 29 Jan '07

How about: GIN Data has been very successful in showing interoperability between standard data access and transport protocols e.g. SRM, SRB, GridFTP. Also, some work was done to look at improving performance for file transfers. OGSA-DMI can provide the next level of interop., by providing a standard way to negotiate a reliable and performant transfer of a set of files. Input from GIN to DMI would be very useful on use cases and inter-grid transfer scenarios. Also, acknowledgement from grid infrastructure participating in GIN that DMI would solve some of their problems will provide the service developers that the work is worthwhile (and should be funded !) Needs to be converted into a more "Powerpoint friendly" format and language, but I think this is the general idea for GIN-DMI cooperation.

Erwin, all, please find attached the first version of the "About OGSA-DMI" slide set. We will have a phone conference on Monday morning 9 am US/eastern time to finalise the slides. I'll send you the updated slides after the call. Cheers, Michel N.B.: I wasn't able to upload the slides to Gridforge. I'll do as soon as I figure out why this didn't work out. -- Michel <dot> Drescher <at> uk <dot> fujitsu <dot> com Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe +44 20 8606 4834

Hi Alex, the Excel is stored at this link: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc14119?nav=1 Even though Gridforge doesn't tell you it's an Excel, it sends it using the appropriate MIME type. While at it, this is the link for the PowerPoint slides: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc14120?nav=1 Sorry for any confusion caused.

Results of today's call and OGF19
by Michel Drescher 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

Folks, as agreed, we will approach a number of workshops and sessions in order to broaden support for OGSA-DMI. For that, we created an Excel sheet that show which sessions are covered and who is attending them. We also agreed on today's call to throw together a set of slides to use at these sessions; and who is contributing which part to these slides. The short-term roadmap towards OGF19 is that I will collect all contributed snippets and compile them into one slide deck; for this please send my your contributions by Saturday evening (the earlier the better!). The complete slide deck should cover 10 - 15 minutes at most. I will send out separate mails to the session owners today (or early tomorrow). Cheers, Michel -- Michel <dot> Drescher <at> uk <dot> fujitsu <dot> com Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe +44 20 8606 4834

Questions on Unicore use cases
by James Casey 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

Hi Michel, I'm reviewing the Unicore use cases and have some questions. * In UC2.1(import from users workstation) is the file always sent as part of the job submission? Is there a separate way to upload from a workstation (or indeed from a worker node) into the Xspace a Uspace for a job which isn't started yet? * When doing an export/import from a Xspace to Uspace within a site, is an actual physical copy done, or is this a logical operation? Cheers, James.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Folks, I am ill at home, and therefore wouldn't be of much help on the call anyway. I hence propose to either - - cancel the call, or - - set up an informal call to vent ideas and rants, and mutual Happy New Years (where applicable). (I then will start the call and drop off immediately again).
