Submitting jobs to the ESGeS@Home Desktop Grid
Submit jobs to the EDGeS@Home desktop grid
If you can connect to a Virtual Organisation that runs the gLite middleware, you can submit jobs to the EDGeS@Home Desktop Grid..
EDGeS@Home is a volunteer desktop grid with tens-of-thousands computers connected. It can be used to run applications from EGI connected Virtual Organisations.
You need the following steps:
- Are you connected to a Service Grid (for instance EGI) that runs gLite. And is your application running there.
- Is your application suited for a Desktop Grid? Is an implementation available for a Desktop Grid
- Your Virtual Organisation VO has to be connected to EDGeS@Home using Bridge technology

Applications
The supported applications are available in the Desktop Grid Application Super-repository at the IDGF portal.
The mostly gLite enabled BOINC and XtremWeb based applications can also be found in the EGI Application Database (AppDB):
