[ogsa-hpcp-wg] Minutes for OGSA HPC Profile telecon (Aug 18 2006)

[Glenn Wasson]

If I'm recalling correctly, there were two issues here.

 

1.	general simplicity of the approach 
2.	failure semantics - would it be possible to define the failure
semantics of array operations (i.e. partial failures) in a way that was
precise enough for interop?

 

Also, although array ops are not in the base case, they are in the initial
set of extensions to the base case proposed in the use case document.

I am also concerned about this. We've never had vector operations in Globus,
but Chris Smith argued eloquently for their importance in the early stages
of BES, and so I became convinced that we need them.

Could you expand on this... having the BES interface support operations on
vectors of activities has been fairly important. Is this is what you are
planning to remove?

Is this a profile restriction or an edit on the main BES document?
