Hi everyone First let me apologize for letting things slide for a while; I've been up to my ears in the project I work on. We need to start work on designing the survey to gather experiences with the UR 1.0 format. I'm not quite sure how to go about this, but I suppose a good way to start would be to provide some kind of template for people to fill in. So I'm going to write some random ideas I have for what we should be asking; chime in if you think I'm right or wrong. Name & Contact Email Project/Product Prose Description of Use Structured Use Characterization: Which UR1.0 Elements do you support? (Table, one row per spec element) Element Name | Generate | Parse -------------+----------+------- UsageRecord | yes | yes .... What extensions do you put in a Usage Record? e.g. executable name, working directory, arguments When do you generate usage records? At job start. At job end. At points during the job. What triggers the generation? After the job has run from other captured data. Corresponding to whole job? Corresponding to events within job? What do you do with Usage Records after generating them? Is there anything else that we ought to ask about? I should note here that the OGSA HPC Profile WG is looking into the collection of usage data from simple jobs, and that they are minded to use UR1.0 as the basis for this. Donal.
