SC06 Demo Questions/Info

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")?

Here are some thoughts for demo signage, and for a short description (done by Sara Murphy for HP's booth): Possible sign:
I was thinking of this for a sign, but am very open to changes (I'm not great with the messaging side of things).
Resource Manager Interoperability Demo
This demo shows a single client making use of multiple clusters running different resource managers. Each cluster supports the OGSA HPC Profile, a standard being drafted within the Open Grid Forum. * web services based protocol for accessing and querying computing resources * uses SOAP over HTTP, so is programming language independent * participants include Microsoft, University of Virginia, Fujitsu and HP

The following is a demo description that I have submitted for our booth guide. We were restricted to 75 words or less:
This demo shows grid interoperability across job schedulers and operating systems. It includes a number of booths at SC06, including the HP and Microsoft booths. Clusters in the HP booth in this demo include an HP XC cluster, running Platform LSF, and an HP cluster running Microsoft CCS. This demo was developed by the HPC Profile Working Group of the Open Grid Forum, which is developing specifications for interoperability of batch job scheduling for scientific and technical applications.

Three comments: * Job Manager is more specific than resource manager - and would mean more IMHO to the target community. * The HPCProfile working group is driving the demo... but it is building heavily on the work of the BES & JSDL working groups and its _very_ disappointing that this work and previous effort is not acknowledged. * There are many more groups involved - OMII-UK, EGEE, CROWN, GT4,...

Seconding Steven's note: the HPC Profile is not something that exists in isolation, it is a profile on BES and JSDL. At 03:29 PM 10/17/2006 +0100, Steven Newhouse wrote:
