The first deployment of workload management services on the EU DataGrid Testbed: feedback on design and implementation

Authors

Description

Application users have now been experiencing for about a year with the standardized resource brokering services provided by the 'workload management' package of the EU DataGrid project (WP1). Understanding, shaping and pushing the limits of the system has provided valuable feedback on both its design and implementation. A digest of the lessons, and "better practices", that were learned, and that were applied towards the second major release of the software, is given.
