Notes

• These workflows each represent only one of the
  many types of science work that these communities
  would like to perform
• For Coadd and GADU BLAST, repetition of workflow
  is driven by updates to the raw data, and in some
  cases tests of new algorithms or parameters
• In all cases, as the Grid workflows run more
  effortlessly and become more useful to their
  science communities, the demand for repeated runs
  will increase
• For most workflows, the job size can be adjusted
  up or down to fit the needs of Grid scheduling
  and policy

  rough estimates.
