[Swift-devel] Re: replication vs site score

[Ian Foster]

Hi,

I wanted to point out that when we use Falkon/coasters, we have full  
control over scheduling, so in that case we could in principle pre- 
compute schedules. However, in practice we still don't tend to have  
enough information about execution times for this to be that useful.  
At least that's my belief.

I assume that estimates of queue time bounds would surely be helpful  
for determining where to send things, and whether a job was stuck.

Ian.
