Enables conventional softwareto use grid technologies:

•submission•gridification algorithms•follow up/ management•results/reports recovery

Grid becomes transparent to the user.Layer between complex LCG Middleware and user application.Easy to use! Does not requireTraining or knowledge.

Enabling many copies of the same binary code run in several datasets in parallel, using GRID capabilities.

BaBar Experiment:

US$60 million Detector installed at SLAC/ Stanford University:

•Thousands of measured points for each event.

•3,000 million real events (1999-2005)•3,200 million Monte Carlo events.

•2,500 computers in parallel running batch system•290,000 data files•161 Tera bytes of data
