Description
The Pierre Auger Observatory studies the highest energy cosmic air showers. International collaboration of about 500 people from 111 institutes from 18 countries operates large detector systems to detect rare events of ultra high energy cosmic ray showers.
Monte Carlo simulations of showers require large computing and storage capacity. The EGI Grid is the way to access several computing centers using the same interface. We describe the organization of shower production on the EGI Grid. We will mention the current main issues with the massive production.
We will also show the organization of the VO, problems with frequent updates of the middleware and how users manage to access resources.
