Description
GridX1, a Canadian computational Grid, combines the resources of various Canadian
research institutes and universities through the Globus Toolkit and the CondorG
resource broker (RB). It has been successfully used to run ATLAS and BaBar simulation
applications. GridX1 is interfaced to LCG through a RB at the TRIUMF Laboratory
(Vancouver), which is an LCG computing element, and ATLAS jobs are routed to Canadian
resources. Recently, the BaBar application has also been implemented to run jobs
through GridX1, concurrently with ATLAS jobs. Two independent RBs are being used to
submit ATLAS and BaBar jobs for an efficient operation of the grid. The status of
grid jobs and the resources are monitored using a web-based monitoring system.
