Why? • Local batch schedulers use a great deal of information to share out resources amongst competing users and maintain high levels of resource usage. • Grid scheduling is very simplistic, routing jobs to a site with an idle CPU (perhaps with the right data available). • How do we bridge the gap? • Question by LHCC member at gLite demo, Tuesday: • “If there is an urgent analysis, how does gLite send this to a special job queue?”
Sessions • Thursday AM • Description of how different local schedulers are used at HEP sites. • What are the common queue management features? • Thursday PM • What is the impact of today’s simplistic Grid scheduling? • How do local and Grid-level scheduler developers see the future? • Friday • Discussion • Can/how do we move towards better Grid scheduling? • Can we define common HEP environment variables to ease transfer of jobs between sites?
