SC06 Demo Questions/Info
by Joel Replogle 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

All - Having not received a response from Marty about these questions, I'm submitting them to the whole list. Also, I assume that there is a call happening today (in just a few minutes) for coordinating the HCPC demo at SC06? We're now one month away from SC06, so I'd really like to see the details of the demo nailed down. List of info/issues/questions: 1. Brief (non-techie, executive summary type) description of the demo, especially the application being run & what the observers of the demo will see 2. Techie description, including SW and HW involved and OGF specs involved 3. Diagram 4. All companies involved, booth #'s, contact names, etc (especially the main leader/spokesperson) 5. Why is the demo important (not just for potential adopters, but to the OGF too - if that is significant) 6. Who it important to (who will use it and what benefits will be gained) 7. Perhaps 2 or 3 other example applications, by verticals (if that makes sense) 8. When commercial availability or adoption can be expected 9. Quotes from participants (or at least indications of willingness of participants to be quoted) for a press release and other uses 10. What OGF specifications are being used? (HPCP Base Case, JSDL 1.0, others...?) 11. Which organizations have implemented which specs? 12. How is OGSA-BES involved? 13. Can we get coordination for scheduled booth presentations (more than just "drop by and see the demo")?

MS HPCBasicProfile Web Service
by Richard Ciapala 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Here is the URI and test JSDL for MS CCS HPCBasicProfile web service. I will need to create an account per user so please send me an email with your phone number and I will call you with your credentials. The URI is https://hpc.msftlabs.com/SC06Demo/HPCBasicProfile.svc. Peter, per your email regarding EPRs, we all agreed on using SSL for transport security and WS-Security UsernameTokens for message authentication so from my understanding, folks only need my address to be able to connect. Also the security policy for my service can be viewed via https://hpc.msftlabs.com/SC06Demo/HPCBasicProfile.svc?WSDL. Thanks

Platform SC06 endpoint
by Christopher Smith 13 Oct '06

13 Oct '06

Here is my endpoint information. I'm currently front ending an LSF cluster at: https://aristotle.dreadnought.org:9090 The CA cert (in DER format) can be found at: https://www.usertrust.com/cacerts/UTN-USERFirst-Hardware.crt All operations at this point will return a soap receiver fault saying the op is unimplemented, but the ops should not take long to appear. I'll post an appropriate JSDL later today when I have the CreateActivity operation implemented. -- Chris

Hi all, Seeing as SC06 isn't _that_ far away, especially for those planning their booths and the like, I'd like to start the ball rolling on how we present this demo to the community at large. Basically ... what's the marketing story here. Steve C ... not sure if you're the right OGF person ... if not please identify the correct person. It would be good if every group involved in the demo would identify a person who can get involved in the marketing aspect of the demo, so that we can craft some collateral and the like. For Platform, Ashar Baig (copied on the message) will be the contact person. Thanks, -- Chris

Update to HPC Profile Application extension
by Christopher Smith 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

Hi all, I've updated the HPC Profile Application document on gridforge. https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc13863?nav=1 Changes include: - application of new OGF template - added text around relationship of stdio file elements to WorkingDirectory - added some text about how filenames in the Executable might be related to things like PATH lookups I'm having one "technical" issue after applying the new template that I cannot seem to resolve. I cannot get the numbering of the appendix to start from 'A'. If anybody can coerce the document to get the numbering right, I'd be eternally grateful. :-) -- Chris

Minutes from Sept-29-06 call
by Marty Humphrey 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Minutes from OGSA HPC Profile (SC 2006 Demo) call, Sept-29-06 11:00 EDT Participants: Marty Humphrey, University of Virginia Chris Smith, Platform Rich Ciapala, Microsoft Susanne Balle, HP Vivian Li, Fujitsu Steve McGough (GridSAM), Imperial College Ming Xu, Microsoft Note: the telecon has been moved, starting this week, to Fri 11:00 EDT Topics: [1] Put http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~humphrey/SC2006.htm at GridForge wiki? Yes or No? Marty gave an overview of the pros and cons of putting the current status of the interop work at the GridForge wiki site for OGSA-HPCP. Because there is potentially confidential information intended to be on this page, the group chose to keep the information in the current place (via a planned password-protected page at the University of Virginia, which was viewed as the simpler mechanism than the wiki). Chris Smith suggested that we divide the content into two types: public and private. The public could go on the GridForge page, while the private could stay at UVa. We generally tabled this discussion (because it's not a pressing issue right now). [2] "What should we do about faults" - see the message Glenn Wasson sent out recently for details It was discussed that the SOAP-1.2 fault message might be used in a problematic way, and that this is a topic for BES more than our group directly. Resolution: Rich will take the latest from Peter Lane and propose that instead of SOAP-1.2 fault element inside of the response message we use xsd:any, and [2] this should be brought up in BES. Rich noted that we might not need SOAP-1.2 because it was only brought in for faults. [3] "do you accept the following schema changes" - Glenn Wasson sent out a message about this ("these are typos or errors in the schema that have to be fixed for everyone's tooling") It was noted that Peter and Glenn seem to be converging, and then we believe that the ball was in Glenn's court. Rich used Peter's email from last night (Thurs/Fri), and that it seemed ok. Resolution: Noting that Peter's last email asked Glenn to identify the duplicate elements, and seeing that Glenn is currently at a conference, Rich is going to attempt to identify the precise duplicates and send email to the group. Related to this, we believe "GetFactoryAttributesDocument" is the correct name -- but this doesn't seem to be reflected in the current BES version (v26? Someone has the token to create a v27? We will check with Mark Morgan.) Rich will send out new schema today. Next call: Friday Oct 6 11:00 EDT
