What is the GCE?
GCE is an environment built with components to support distributing computing applications in ATLAS.We employ and/or interface with grid components, services and systems from a large number of development projects, with the initial aim of optimizing the use of grid resources in a production environment. The current environment is specific to the use of the Chimera virtual data system, but it is anticipated that future releases will incorporate more components from many more sources.
The environment is created and configured principally with the Pacman tool.
The GCL, or Grid Component Library, is a registry of Grid components and services out of which GCE is created.
