Platform for distributed, big computing - DIRAC User Group meeting
- Yin Chen (EGI.eu)
- Andrei Tsaregorodtsev (CNRS)
Description
The DIRAC interware is a complete software solution for communities of users that need to exploit distributed, heterogeneous compute resources for big data processing.
DIRAC forms a layer between the user community and the compute resources to allow optimized, transparent and reliable usage. DIRAC can connect various types of compute (Grids, Clouds, HPCs and Batch systems), storage, data catalogue resources. DIRAC is used by several of the most compute intensive research infrastructures. The EGI installation of DIRAC is used by diverse communities, such as WeNMR (Structural Biology), VIP (Medical imaging), Pierre Auger Observatory (astrophysics).
This session will provide a forum for information sharing about new DIRAC features and user community experiences.
