Description
Dynamically and opportunistically extending the compute resources of a HTC-Cluster (ATLAS-BFG)
with compute resources of a HPC-Cluster (NEMO) allows one to increase the computational capabilities
based on the demand of users and the availability of resources and as such leads to an efficient use of
resources across boundaries of clusters and disciplines. This is completely transparent, since users are faced
with the same software environment regardless of where their jobs are scheduled. This work illustrates how
this is realized using the software COBalD/TARDIS. Furthermore an overview of the monitoring setup is
given and an outlook to a potential accounting system tailored for such use cases is presented.
