Hello, A change in allocation has been requested: Requester: wilde (Michael Wilde) Project: swift Title: Support for Swift scripting on LCRC Systems Description: Swift enables users to express and execute workflows comprising external applications and library functions. It enables users to specify workflow patterns that range from a simple set of independent tasks, up to very complex task flow graphs based on data dependencies. Swift is implicitly parallel, so the user does no need to know anything about parallel programming to write Swift workflows. It automates data transfer (to multiple compute resources) and fault recovery as well. This project will be used to support feature development specific to LCRC (for example, adjustments for LCRC resource manager behavior and/or scheduling policy); to help LCRC users with code examples and problem debugging; and to perform night;y/weekly testing of Swift on Blues and Fusion. Current: undetermined amount Justification: Requested: 75000 A specific reason has been given: For testing and support of Swift parallel scripting language and user community. This needs to be approved and the final allocation amount decided upon. Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System
