[Swift-devel] Re: VDS1 transfer executable

[Ben Clifford]

the former suggestion comes to mind becase I was just chatting to buzz 
about dcache and XIO (primarily because I tease him about writing XIO 
drivers for everything), but then it turns into the serious suggestion 
that:

   i) worker-side transfer executable becomes (or is, already, I suspect)
      XIO-aware

  ii) xio-dcache driver should be easy to write (by us or by xio people)

I'm increasingly more convinced as I think about it that there needs to be 
an (optional) worker-side transfer executable for decent staging in/out of 
data on workers; and that maybe we should not mess round with other 
approaches that skirt round this.
