Welcome to the CREAM web

The CREAM (Computing Resource Execution And Management) Service is a simple, lightweight service for job management operation at the Computing Element (CE) level.

CREAM accepts job submission requests (which are described with the same JDL language used to describe the jobs submitted to the Workload Management System) and other job management requests (e.g. job cancellation, job monitoring, etc).

CREAM can be used by the Workload Management System (WMS), via the ICE service, or by a generic client, e.g. an end-user willing to directly submit jobs to a CREAM CE. For the latter user case a command line interface (CLI) is available.

CREAM exposes a web service interface.

CREAM will be supported by INFN beyond the lifetime of EMI project with bug fixes and security fixes, for the entire period in which EGI and WLCG e-Infrastructures will adopt it. New functionalities requested by EGI and/or WLCG will be analysed and considered for implementation if the effort is compatible with the available resources. A major release for SL6 and CentOS7 (with added funtionality for GPU/MIC support) will be available by the end of 2016.
