CLC Server vs GRID

CLC provides two ways to offload jobs - CLC Server and GRID. Both serve different purposes.

CLC Server can only be used to perform Standard Import and Export. These tasks are performed on Ceres DTN node for faster transfer rate.

Note that if users select “CLC Server” for any tasks other than those mentioned below, those tasks will not execute and will remain paused.

GRID can be used to run compute tasks on Ceres nodes.
