gLite WMS/RB

The NGS WMS (Workload Management System) resource broker allows users to easily submit jobs to the NGS, and to retrieve their output when the jobs are executed. Users interact with the WMS by means of a User Interface (UI). Once logged onto the UI, users can specify their jobs and any files the job requires. Users can also describe any additional requirements (hardware, software). The WMS then automatically selects the best resources to run the job. The NGS Resource Broker and User Interface is based on the gLite 3.1 WMS-LB and UI nodes from the EGEE Project.

The NGS runs a central WMS/UI service which is available to all registered users
