[jsdl-wg] Discussion regarding an implementation of JSDL

[Steven Newhouse]

Arnie,

There are various open source implementations of the HPC Basic Profile.
Look at the work of Andrew Grimshaw from the University of Virginia
(Genesis II) and the SourceForge project (BES++) build by Chris Smith
from Platform. There are closed source implementations in the Microsoft
HPC product.

There are others... I've cc'ed these two people if you have difficulties
in accessing these projects.

Thanks,

Steven
