Sir,<br><br>I am interested in working on the data-aware features in swift on two major points<br><br>1) For jobs dependent on same data, scheduler tries to schedule them to same resources. <br> <br> (i) The scheduler maintains a hash containing information about (a) data files, (b) jobs dependent on that data and (c) resources that are executing (or scheduled to execute) those jobs. <br>
(ii) The information will be updated every time a job is finished (on success/failure). <br> (iii) When scheduling new jobs, the scheduler looks through the hash and schedules new job to the resource that has data on which new job is dependent (If the resource is not already overloaded).<br>
<br>2) Combining the tasks together that are dependent on same data files, before scheduling. And i believe this can be added quickly using coasters ( or is the feature already there... ).<br><br>Currently i have setup some machines with globus and swift but am not able to get swift submit jobs through gram4.....<br>
