Specification for a Grid efficiency framework

The following is an independently developed grid efficiency framework that will be consolidated with Lidia’s framework.  

The point of this work is to be able to add wrappers around the job that will report back key parameters about the job such as the time it started and the time it stopped the type of node it ran on, if it was successful and so on. These commands execute and return back strings in the jobs output stream. These can be parsed by an executable (I call it the job scanner) that extracts the parameters and writes them into a database. Later other programs use this data to produce web pages, and plots out of any parameter we have recorded.  

The image attached shows the relation between elements in my database and commands in my CSH. The commands in my CSH script will be integrated into SUMS soon. This will make it possible for any framework to parse out these parameters.
