BigPanDA Project.

The BigPanDA Project is Next Generation Workload Management and Analysis System for Big Data.
The BigPanDA project was established as an extension of the PanDA Project to develop a next generation workload management and analysis system for big data building on PanDA.
PanDA was originally designed specifically for the needs of the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and has proved to be highly successful in meeting all the distributed computing needs of the experiment. The core design of PanDA is however not experiment specific.

PanDA is capable of meeting the needs of other data intensive scientific applications, and the BigPanDA project was created to undertake this. The project has generalized PanDA for use by other experiments, extended its reach to High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms, and added intelligent network awareness to the system.
