DIRAC Documentation¶
The DIRAC project is a complete Grid solution for one, or more than one community of users that need to exploit distributed, heterogeneous resources.
DIRAC forms a layer between a community and various compute resources to allow optimized, transparent and reliable usage. The types of resources that DIRAC can handle include:
Computing Resources, including Grids, Clouds, and Batch systems
Storage Resources
Catalog Resources
Many communities use DIRAC, the oldest and most experienced being the LHCb collaboration. Other communities include, but are not limited to, Belle2, ILC, and CTA
DIRAC source code is open source (GPLv3), written largely in python 2.7, and hosted on github.
DIRAC provides code for:
client installations
server installations
pilots installations
A more detailed description of the DIRAC system can be found at this location or in this presentation
