[Swift-devel] Status of coasters

[Ioan Raicu]

Although, we and others have been doing this (multi-level scheduling) 
for a while now, using Coasters, Falkon, Condor glide-ins, etc... I 
don't see what would be different, to set up a separate WS-GRAM 
interface on a site that doesn't support it. Its just another method, to 
do multi-level scheduling.
