The
document addresses the usage of raw compute facilities - processors,
storage, network - when running a "job". Would it
make sense to address other cases, such as tracking the usage of a
particular application? This is important e.g. for licensing
models - see the discussion panel on licensing at GridWorld 2005.
- I see two sub-cases. In the first, the computing resource
provides the application. In the second, it is staged in as
part of the "job". These may need to be addressed
differently.
- Evaluation: This is definitely an important area, but out of scope
for the current document. The topic will be taken to the mailing list for
discussion.
