[ogsa-wg] Initial draft of HPC profile working group charter

[Marvin Theimer]

Hi;

 

You are right that most of the discussion so far has been about job
submission and not about the related need to get data from client to
execution subsystem(s) and back again.  But since the goal of the group
is to define a profile covering the end-to-end vertical use cases, I
know that we will need to tackle the topic of data staging at some
point.  As with JSDL and BES's relation to the job submission parts of
the work, I'm hoping we will be able to substantially leverage other
existing work, such as that of the data DMIS groups, as appropriate.
I'll make that more explicit in the next revision of the draft charter.

 

Thanks for pointing this matter out,

Marvin.

Hi,

 

All the discussion I've seen about this profile so far has focussed on
specifying and submitting jobs, but the proposed charter says that this
is only one of two areas of interest; the other being data staging.  The
immediate question is what link will this profile work have to the Data
Movement Interface Specification group?  Will the profile refer to the
DMIS spec in the same way that it will refer to JSDL and BES?  (Of
course, JSDL also covers data staging to some extent).

 

Work is also continuing on the data aspects of the OGSA architecture, in
the OGSA Data WG.  I would encourage the HPC profile group to engage
with the OGSA Data group and the DMIS group concerning how to fit data
staging into the overall architecture.

 

Unfortunately I won't be in Tokyo next week but it would be useful if
members of these groups could get together there to agree a working
relationship.

 

Best wishes,

 

Dave.
