GRB is a general framework for ubiquitous desktop access to grid resources. Aim of the project is to allow trusted users to create and handle computational grids on the fly exploiting a simple and friendly GUI. GRB builds on the Globus Toolkit, leveraging existing functionalities but providing a powerful interface to them. In order to use GRB, a user must apply to the HPC Lab to get an account.
