Update on OGSA HPC Profile WG (incl. LAST CALL on use-case doc)
Folks, As the OGSA F2F is next week, Marvin and I thought it would a good time to recap our group's progress to date. At GGF17 in Tokyo, we outlined three deliverables for the group: OGSA HPC Use Cases (GFD-I; first draft: Apr 2006, ready for public comments: July 2006), OGSA HPC profile specification (GFD-R.P; first draft: Aug 2006; ready for public comments: Nov 2006), and OGSA HPC initial common cases extension profile specification (GFD-R.P; first draft: Jan 2007; ready for public comments: Apr 2007). The OGSA HPC Use Cases document was discussed extensively this Spring, so we'd like to issue a "LAST CALL" on this document, which has recently been reformatted to GGF specification: https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc13649?nav=1 . Comments must be made by of 7/17/06 to be reflected in the document that will go into the "public comments" area of GGF (of course, you are free to make comments during the official GGF "public comments" as well -- this "LAST CALL" is being made to the WG). Our OGSA HPC Profile group has been VERY active (the OGSA HPC Profile email list has not been used to date -- all of the activity is taking place in the JSDL and BES working groups, both on the email lists and in the conference calls). We believe that we are making great progress on making sure that our requirements are contained in the current BES draft and being addressed in the next JSDL draft). At this time, we believe that we are on-track to make the Aug 2006 "first draft" deadline for the OGSA HPC profile specification, although much work remains. At the OGSA F2F next week, the topics that we anticipate discussing include BES, JSDL, the issue of "rendering" (e.g., WSRF, WS-I), and the information model. We have made a request to have a single 90-minute session at GGF18 in Wash DC in September. We believe that the majority of this time will be used to discuss our WG's forthcoming initial draft of the OGSA HPC profile specification. Thanks to everyone for participating on the BES and JSDL discussions! We're very happy with our group's progress to date! -- Marty Marty Humphrey Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science University of Virginia
Hi Marty and Marvin, As I said at the OGSA HPC profile WG session on the last Monday, I would recommend you to modify the following changes to HPC usecase document. (1) Add trademarks section on the first page Please add the following trademarks section just before "Abstract" section. Trademarks OGSA is a trademark of the Global Grid Forum. (2) Add (tm) to the first occurrence of OGSA on the first page "OGSA HPC Profile" in the second to last sentence of the Abstract section should read "OGSA(tm) HPC Profile." Thanks, ---- Hiro Kishimoto Marty Humphrey wrote:
