General software features

The CiGri software allows to set up a grid center to exploit a pre-existing set of super-computers. It is specialised on the management of "bag-of-tasks" jobs. It gathers the unused computing resources from an intranet infrastructure and makes it available for large set of tasks.

Context in which the software is used

CiGri software is used at the computing center at Joseph Fourier University of Grenoble (CIMENT) since 2002.
