INSTALL
-------
Anders to add INSTALL file with minimal installation instructions (Nov. 13)
PILE-UP
-------
Min. bias (DS 2099), part. 11-50, 251-290), each 300 MB
11-50 pile up with 1101-1300; 251-290 - with 1301-1400
Makes 12 GB + 1 GB of input - minimum. Caching?
3.2 GB of output per job
No advance reservation - hence need a way to tell PBS via xRSL how
to manage the jobs. PBS can't select a node according to memory requirements.
maxJobs
Input Files : 1st approach: specify as inputfiles; if RC crashes - publish
PILEUP1 and PILEUP2 in runtimeenvironment
VO with validated sites.
Max size: only for the output ; UI calculates additional space reservation
from the RC information (assuming caching info is available, too)
Binary compatibility
--------------------
New IS attribute: distribution (?)
Another new attribute: CPU model+frequency (start with static string)
called "cpuType"
And then we run Ganglia and switch to the Glue schema!
Parallel jobs
-------------
needed xRSL attributes:
- nr. of nodes (to be parsed with -l nodes = $count
- PR (aka launcher, aka parallelenvironment, aka parallelruntimeenvironment),
such that $PR is parsed to the LRMS; advertised as a runtimeenvironment
- jobType : parallel/serial/Condor/whatever
Guest VO
--------
- Web form
- Change mkgridmapfile to check the issuer CA and CRL before creating the
gridmapfile
xRSL
----
rename maxMemory to Memory
maxCPUTime to CPUTime
maxDisk to Disk
and remove min*
Merge with UI manual
New mailing list
----------------
nordugrid-site-managers@
