[jsdl-wg] IndividualCPUCount

[Peter G. Lane]

Would it be possible to change the description of IndividualCPUCount to say simply that it specifies 
the required number of CPUs instead of the number to be allocated. The way it's worded now, match 
making based on the actual number of CPUs (i.e Condor) seems improperly represented by this element. 
Making it a little more general allows for the interpretation that a host must at very least have a 
certain number of CPUs, but it does not dictate the number of CPUs actually being allocated for the 
job. Resource managers such as LSF and PBS that only operate using CPU allocations could still be 
considered included in the description because if an allocation is successful then obviously the 
host must have that many CPUs.

In addition, the following elements are worded similarly to IndividualCPUCount so as to effectively 
prohibit purely match making as opposed to strict allocation of host resources:

IndividualVirtualMemory
IndividualDiskSpace
TotalDiskSpace

For what it's worth, the rest of Resources' elements seem to be worded more generally (i.e. 
"required by the job" as opposed to "allocated to the job"). Derive from that what you will. ;-)
