The WMS accepts requests concerning the execution of a computation, whose description is expressed in a flexible language, based on Condor ClassAds, as a set of key - value pairs. The WMS is then responsible to translate the logical description to concrete operations, in order to bring the execution of a job to a successful end. Several types of jobs are supported: simple, intra-cluster MPI,...

Preliminary results indicate that EGEE job traffic shares some properties with the Internet traffic: the distributions of the inter-arrival times seem to be heavy-tailed and the time series of the loads indicate long-range power-law correlations. Precise characterizations are currently investigated on two aspects.
a) Marginal distributions. Modeling the distributions at different spatial and...

The LHCb experiment, designed for high-precision studies of matter-antimatter
asymmetries in the decays of b-hadrons, is one of the four main experiments at the CERN Large Hardon Collider (LHC). DIRAC has been developed to meet the experiment’s need for processing petabytes of data per year, using globally distributed resources. It can be used either as a standalone Grid implementation, or...
