Anonymous: ---------- We will not being using the SAGA API for our use case. SAGA evolved into somethign very different from what we originally found potentially useful for our use case (three calls- authorize(), copy_file(), and run_job()). We aren't interested in POSIX-like file semantics, threads, or the complexity of the API. <<< Comment Andre: -------------- Hmm, I checked their use case. It is not trivial (e.g. includes data base access, steering and visualization, at least to some extent). Also, a 'three call auth' we have (actually, we have zero call minimum and 5 call maximum). run_job and copy_file we have as well, both need exactly 2 calls in total: { saga::directory dir; dir.copy (src, target); saga::job_server server (); server.run_job ("remote.host.net", "/bin/myjob"); } So, it might be that they percieve SAGA as too complex, and that should be kept in mind, but the criticism is at least not well formulated I think. >>>
