Ganga
GANGA aims to be an easy tool for job submission and management. It is built on python and provides client command tools, a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and a WebGUI. A job in GANGA is constructed from a set of building blocks. All jobs must specify the software to be run (application) and the processing system (backend) to be used. Pragmatically, this means that GANGA can be used to submit jobs to the localhost where it is installed, to a local farm or to a computing grid such as LCG/EGI, as long as the appropriate clients command tools are available to GANGA. GANGA is presently used by ATLAS and LHCb users among other collaborations.
Key Features
- Easy installation
- Extensible for integration of other backends

- Easy GUI with the capacity to re-use jobs and job templates.
- The VO may want to offer a central installation to be used by all users
- GANGA GUI may increase the user learning curve on using the VO infrastructure
