"The time at which the job started"
Again, we are missing the definition of a grid job here. What does the
"grid job started" mean here? The job was submitted to a grid
broker or registered in a job pool? Or the job has reached the selected
grid compute element front-end? Or the job got submitted to the batch
system? Or the job started to run on a computing node in the batch
system?
- The current definition does not take into account the grid layer and
probably simply assumes the last option. This might not be necessarily
adequate, as resources spent for e.g. matchmaking, brokering, data
staging etc may not be negligible.
Evaluation: This will be resolved with the addition of scope and
context text. Again, this comment deals with grid-level accounting, not
job-level.
