----------------------------------------
Hi John, you got it right. Yes please proceed with creating your proposal.
> [GSoC] Benchmark framework to facilitate Airavata Scheduling
> ------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: AIRAVATA-1636
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-1636
> Project: Airavata
> Issue Type: New Feature

> Airavata assists science gateways to execute on multiple computational
> resources. To efficiently schedule applications on resources, Airavata needs
> to understand application performance. Applications are typically complex in
> terms of the models and algorithms they support and internally implemented
> optimization of resources available. The hardware provides additional
> variables in this optimization in terms of memory and computing units that
> can be allocated and time restrictions in the form of queue limits.
> Scheduling adds to this complexity by implementing policies toward enabling a
> particular Science domain and/or maximizing the usage of the resources
> itself.
> Airavata can feed data from historical executions and a framework can be
> built to systematically feed to new experiments (based on existing or totally
> newly devised models) executed. The run and timing data then can be codified
> such that the information can be presented to the user if an intelligent
> choice can be made by the user or can be used programmatically by Airavata in
> cases where the user does not or cannot provide such a choice.
> The end goal of this benchmark exercise will be to provide fastest execution
> time possible accounting for constraints available in the gateway to optimize
> its own allocations for all the users in the communities the gateway
> supports.
