[ogsa-bes-wg] Questions and potential changes to BES, as seen from HPC Profile point-of-view

[Marvin Theimer]

Hi;

My email was focused on both job description and resource discovery.  I
need both to implement the HPC profile specification.

Yes, GRAM users often (almost always) provide their own executable,
either because they are CS-inclined, or because the "user" for GRAM is
actually another piece of middleware that provides the more abstract
interface you describe.

BTW, this point of Peter's is what I thought everyone was talking
about regarding heterogeneous resource descriptions, and that is what
I was trying to address in this thread w.r.t. JSDL constraint models.
It seems one could read Marvin's original question as being about
resource discovery, but since he mentioned JSDL, I just assumed we
were all talking about constraints in the job description.
