- Toni - Extensions - requirements are training - perspective - web interface is not general enough - GPU Grid's Soap interface is general enough - David - User Defined in this discussion is the Scientist - Different categories of users - Envisage a context where random volunteers can submit - Need to control the scripts where users can inject viruses - Toni - Users should not have ability to upload applications - this is a security risk - Applications that accept scripts should be tightly restricted - Christian - Extend template files w/ additional text. - Soap can be used for a web page where scientist selects for application to submit - Scientist must provide a template - Toni - Webpage for submitting: 1. Does not lend itself to batches 2. Output would not be able to retrieve on webpage - Christian - Suggested a structure where input is packed in an archive, uploaded to the server, uncompressed and used by job creation script - Zoltan - Change Execution soap website - Client executes application - Master feeds the work - Toni - Described how GPUGrid accounts for the priority of workunits. High priority starves the lower priority - Will release the Perl code - Does not deal w/ scheduler code - One should have a scientist's table that tracks various project scientist information relevant to submissions - David - Many options [for scientist's table], eg accounting, controlling latency, throughput - Toni - Not many scientists on GPU grid currently - Micheal Weber - Leiden Classical has a drop-down menu - submissions interface w/ limited characters - Registers the heavy users - David - Is Leiden a generic solution? - Christian - Leiden uses a separate configuration file - Toni - Computes the has of the file, avoid copying files, conserve space, use hard links in the download directory - Kevin - There should be a common mechanism to submit - Zoltan - How to submit work remotely - David - It would be good to have a standardized way - Toni - Use MD5 checksum on the input files, store the hashes on the server - Jack - What if there were a script to generate the templates, where user is prompted for various parameters? - David - Not the bottleneck for scientists - Need to move the WU Generator and Assimilator off the server - Keep the things we trust stay on the server
