Compute Area Client Harmonization

Workplan for the first year

Besides the harmonization of job related standard interfaces, some consolidation and harmonization is also needed for the clients.

During the first project year it will be investigated which kind of harmonization and consolidation can be done and concrete plans (to be then implemented in the rest of the first project year and in the second year) will be settled. The main objectives are to improve:

• usability
• maintainability
• portability to different architectures and operating systems

Implementation

• M1 - An evaluation of the current state of the clients in the middlewares taking into account the above mentioned main objectives: EmiJra1T2ComputeClientEvaluation (PM7)
• M2 - A description of the harmonization opportunities taking into account results or work in progress of other task forces or product teams (PM10)
  • SAGA may play a role here
  • EmiJra1T2ComputeClientOpportunities
  • Proposed workplan to be evaluated by PTB: EmiJra1T2ComputeClientProposal (outdated)
    • EmiJra1T2ComputeClientWorkPlan
• M3 - Detailed plan and implementation (PM12)
  • EmiJra1T2ComputeClientImplementation
