[gin-ops] start Savannah run

[Cindy Zheng]

Dear all,

Thanks for all the people involved to help make
TDDFT application run and GIN testbed monitoring
very fruitful experiments! We have learned a lot 
and have presented our learnings at OGF and SC06.

Let's continue our collaborative effort with our 
plan - start our next experiment with Savannah
fire simulation - a data-intensive application, 
to explore data related interoperation issues.

Colin Enticott at Monash University of Australia
is the lead driver. Colin has documented the
introduction and requirements of this application at
http://wiki.pragma-grid.net/index.php?title=Savannah
or go to
http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.gin/wiki/GinOps
click "Savannah" under "Applications",
where "first Savannah experiment" is refering to
a previous experiment in PRAGMA testbed. The
"second Savannah experiment" is the one for GIN 
testbed.

We like to run this application on all Grids in 
GIN testbed, but in 2 steps. 
First, we will run it on PRAGMA/TeraGrid/OSG - since 
these should be relatively easier to do. We like to 
get this done before the year end.
The next step, Colin will work with EGEE and Nordugrid
to develop possible solutions, to enable interoperation
and to include all 5 Grids in the run.

Thanks in advance for your continued help with this!

Cindy
