Description
GROSS (GRidified Orca Submission System) has been developed to provide CMS
end users with a single interface for running batch analysis tasks over
the LCG-2 Grid. The main purpose of the tool is to carry out job
splitting, preparation, submission, monitoring and archiving in a
transparent way which is simple to use for the end user. Central to its
design has been the requirement for allowing multi-user analyses, and to
accomplish this all persistent information is stored on a backend MySQL
database. This database is additionally shared with BOSS, to which GROSS
interfaces in order to provide job submission and real time monitoring
capability.
In this paper we present an overview of GROSS's architecture and
functionality and report on first user tests of the system using CMS Data
Challenge 2004 data (DC04).
