Description
CMS has started the process of rolling out a new workload management
system. This system is currently used for reprocessing and monte carlo
production with tests under way using it for user analysis.
It was decided to combine, as much as possible, the
production/processing, analysis and T0 codebases so as to reduce
duplicated functionality and make best use of limited developer and
testing resources.
This system now includes central request submission and management
(Request Manager); a task queue for parcelling up and distributing
work (WorkQueue) and agents which process requests by interfacing with
disparate batch and storage resources (WMAgent).
