Dedicated use of PRAGMA Gridfor specific purposes

Motivation

• PRAGMA Grid is used routinely as a shared
  infrastructure.
• No reservation, dedication is supported.
• Users cannot estimate when his job will be
  running.
• Users cannot expect co-allocation.
• PRAGMA Grid is expected to be dedicated for
  specific purposes.
• Experiments
• Demonstration

Decision

• We agreed that PRAGMA Grid allows dedicated use.
• Procedure for the dedication.
• The driver sends an application form.
• The application will be reviewed and
  approved/rejected by each resource owner.
• Policies and criteria
• Depends on sites policy
• To do
• Consider how to prioritize multiple requests
• Implementation

  dedication.

  drivers the dedication is approaching.
