Hi all,

Here is my feedback regarding the Viz-LSU use case. In some cases
these requirements might be outside the scope of SAGA, I would like to 
know if that is the case though ..

*Block-based data transmission is not covered by the current API
*Resource discovery is not covered by the current API
*Job submission to multiple resources (co-scheduling) is not covered by 
the current API
*Simple job submission seems to be covered by the API. Here is a list of 
things
that are not covered (because outside the 80-20 rule?)  and
there doesn't seem to be a "generic" attribute in the JobDefinition 
class where these attributes
could be specified if the underlying scheduler happens to support them.
** Logical file requirement (the jobs needs to run on a machine where an 
instance of this particular logical file exists)
** Graphics requirements
** Networking requirements (network interface, bandwidth to ..)
** Performance-based descriptions : GFlops, memory bandwidth ..
