[gridcpr-wg] Use Cases for Grid Checkpoint and Recovery - Comments

[guru prasad]

The NULL computation will work. Since I found no mention of it I thought we are concentrating on only applications with computations. Sorry, I should have thought about it.

Thanks for your comment.

The first thing to notice is that the box labelled “Application” contains a box labelled “Computation”. Some of the use-cases envisions an existing computation being directly modified to interact with a GridCPR system.

 

This places an assumption on the application to have "computation" as a part of the application. But when I think of in general and the applied fields of Grid Computing, not all the applications have computing as a part of it. (Eg. An application to collect all the x-ray of a user from a remote server, diagnosis report from yet another and consolidate both to produce a report and submit it to a third location). 

 

I am not sure if we are not handling such applications. But I feel we need to define a solid boundary for "application" type.
