Area Scope:
The Compute Area is focused on the description and execution of computational tasks, and the scheduling and negotiation of grid resources.
Compute Groups:
Grid Resource Allocation Agreement Protocol (GRAAP-WG)
This working group has the goal to produce a set of documents describing a common resource management protocol for Grid environments, which allows the advance reservation of those resources.
Job Submission Description Language (JSDL-WG)
The JSDL-WG will provide a specification for an abstract standard Job Submission Description Language (JSDL) that is independent of language bindings. It will also provide a normative XML Schema corresponding to the JSDL specification and a document of translation tables to and from the scheduling languages of a set of popular batch systems for both the job requirements and resource description attributes of those languages, which are relevant to the JSDL.
Grid Scheduling Architecture (GSA-RG)
The goal of this research group is to define a scheduling architecture that supports cooperation between different scheduling instances for arbitrary Grid resources. Considered resources include network, software, data, storage and processing units. The research group will particularly address the interaction between resource management and data management.
OGSA Basic Execution Services (OGSA-BES-WG)
The objective of the OGSA-BES working group is to focus on a minimal sub-set of the EMS services and develop a recommendations document (i.e., specification) for them.
OGSA High Performance Computing Profile (OGSA-HPCP-WG)
The objective of this working group is to work on the profile and specifications needed to realize the vertical use case of batch job scheduling of scientific/technical applications. This use case is often referred to as the "core" high performance computing (HPC) use case.
OGSA Resource Selection Services (OGSA-RSS-WG)
The goal of the OGSA-RSS working group is to provide recommendations-track specifications for OGSA Resource Selection Services. These will consist of protocols and interface definitions for the Candidate Set Generator, which generates a list of computational resources able to run a job, and the Execution Planning System, which decides where to run a job
