-Can be used if input/​output files reside on GRID or remote storage (i.e. paths are relative to some remote cluster or storage ) and each job needs different but well established environments (i.e. software packages, environment variables etc.) so that one does not need to manually download the files and script the environment setup. The ARC interface will download the files and set up the environment automatically. ​It requires a GRID certificate and subscription to Virtual Organization (VO).+Can be used if input/​output files reside on GRID or remote storage (i.e. paths are relative to some remote cluster or storage ) and each job needs different but well established environments (i.e. software packages, environment variables etc.) so that one does not need to manually download the files and script the environment setup. ​
