Description
The modern scientific projects require large amounts of computing
resources to manage their
data. The projects are often of international nature and have access to
various types of
resources distributed geographically and belonging to different
computing infrastructures.
Using these resources by a transparent aggregation for the users is a
challenge, especially
for relatively small scientific communites. The DIRAC Project provides a
framework for
building distributed computing systems with an easy access to grids,
clouds, computing
clusters and volunteer grids. It is now used by several large high
energy physics and astrophysics
experiments in the world. The DIRAC services are now also provided by
several national grid
computing infrastructures, in France, Spain, UK, Italy, China, etc.
Recently the DIRAC service
was also created for the users of the the EGI.eu project. The
description of the DIRAC services
for EGI as well as the first operational experience is presented in this
contribution.
